Untapped potential for high-strength steels in agriculture
The face of agriculture has changed tremendously over the past 20 years or so. Average farm sizes have increased and agriculture has become more intensive. This in turn means tractors and other agricultural machinery have become increasingly larger and inevitably also heavier. A new generation of farmers is increasingly educated and using different kinds of information to find ways to improve their profitability. In this environment, there is great potential to increase the usage of higher strength steels in agriculture to deliver lighter, stronger, and more sustainable solutions.
