Successful Farming's Editorial Guidelines Published on August 4, 2022 Close Tools are as essential to farming and ranching as horsepower. Nothing short of the latest tractor introduction draws the same kind of attention from producers as new and innovative tool designs and shop supplies that are tailor-fit to help them in the shop, in the field – wherever. Successful Farming is continuing the "Tools of the Year" program to highlight tools that get the job done. Our well-versed editorial team selected one tool as an "Editor's Choice" and other tools as "Recommended." We will roll out the 2022 must-have tools and shop supplies over the coming weeks.
