An effervescent feature of the US agricultural sector is the productivity, which has nearly tripled over the second half of the 20th century. The evolution of this industry has been importantly led by the persistent innovations and advancements in the farm machinery sector of the economy, as feuled by the high quantum of R&D activities led by the manufacturers.

The industrial revolution has completely changed the ways of farming across the globe. Most countries in the recent years have observed a great leap in context of the farming methodology. Even though, as agriculture exists one of the oldest professions in the world, the development and use of sophisticated machinery has made this profession to be pursued by only a few people.

The market share of tractor was observed to be the highest followed by the harvesting machinery. In 2012, the two segments commanded nearly 50% share of the entire farm equipment market in the US.

Increasing overseas demand for food, especially from the developing world, as contributed by factors such as high population growth, rising incomes and a growing middle class is anticipated to further stimulate the US overall agricultural exports in the following years. The trend of rising share of farms belonging to the higher economic class is likely to promote the customer base for farm machinery.
