Only last week, we received a large consignment of farming equipment from China, the first in a series to come, all courtesy of the Chinese government.

Spring is an especially high-traffic time of year for farm equipment on roadways, as tilling, planting and spray equipment are being transported to fields.

The list of far-reaching incentives recently submitted focuses on working conditions at outlying farms, which usually involve long hours in the heat, with greenhouse temperatures as high as 45 degrees Celsius.
