**Amp Americas, a leading dairy methane capture and renewable gas company, announced its projects have reduced more than two million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions since 2012.
That’s equal to the emissions of more than five natural gas-fired power plants in one year.
Amp Americas provides an immediate, measurable, and at-scale solution to methane emissions by capturing methane on dairy farms that would otherwise get released into the atmosphere.
**Sales of four-wheel-drive tractors increased 4.8% in August compared to the same month last year.
New data from the Association of Equipment Manufacturers says U.S. sales also increased 5.2% year-to-date.
Total ag tractor sales decreased 19.4%, while combine sales dipped 19.6%.
AEM Senior VP Curt Blades says while the increase in four-wheel-drive tractors is modest, it’s indicative of the industry’s resilience and the ongoing need for ag equipment.
