🏗️ Modern jobsites are the result of decades of progress: better equipment, better technology, and an increased focus on safety. But as AEM's Dana Wuesthoff explains in a recent Fast Company article, there's a hidden risk on today's jobsite - mental health.

Mental health doesn't stay personal. It affects focus, decision-making, and ultimately, jobsite safety. That's why @conexpoconagg, the largest construction trade show in North America, and partner @afspnational American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) are working together to put the spotlight on mental health in construction.
⚙️ Technological advancements aren't just about doing more with less. They're about doing it smarter, ensuring both productivity gains and environmental responsibility in the process.
Check out how technology has revolutionized the ag industry, and how modern equipment has played a pivotal role, in AEM's updated Modern Benefits of Specialty Crop Equipment study! 👉 https://t.co/neDZ5WPzhZ

We are pleased to announce that we have launched a new market share statistics program for landfill compactors. 👏 The program, proposed by AEM member company BOMAG Americas, was launched earlier this year, and essentially tracks the first time a machine is used, which is the most sought after information for ag and construction in North America.
💡 "Thanks in large part to the programs we’ve launched, our members now have the best-available tools and reports to determine their market penetration and business profitability,” says AEM Senior Director of Market Share Statistics Jacquelyn La Favor.
