# **What is More Fuel-Efficient, Tires or Tracks?**
Tractors are the engine of a farm, pulling everything from planting implements like seeders in the spring to hauling carts during harvest in the fall. Because tractors are the primary power source on the farm, the expense of keeping them fueled is significant—most years, [fuel accounts for about 5% of a farmer’s overall costs](https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-fuel-farming/farmers-worldwide-struggle-with-rising-fuel-costs-idUSKCN1IJ0CR). Given the considerable expense of fuel, even small differences can result in large returns—which begs the question, *what is more fuel-efficient: tires or tracks?*

# **High-Tech VF Tires Improve Productivity and Efficiency on the Farm **
From high-tech software to high-flying drones, interest in agtech is exploding. According to research company [Crunchbase](https://news.crunchbase.com/news/agtech-sector-blooms-as-more-dollars-and-startups-rush-in/), in both 2018 and 2019, venture capitalists invested more than $4 billion in just agtech startups alone. While flashy apps and autonomous machinery often steal the spotlight, numerous other, more understated technological advancements—like the development of VF (very-high flexion) tires—are happening right under our (tractors’) noses.

# Innovative Tires For Improved Farmer Financial Stability
Times are tough in the business of farming; margins are decreasing, input costs are rising, and the weather is as unpredictable as ever. While we frequently talk about how we’re developing new and innovative application-specific tires to help farmers meet the challenges facing them, this is only one way that we're working to help farmers improve financial stability—not just today, but for generations to come. One of the most interesting projects we’re currently working on is a collaboration with two Iowa-based businesses at the cutting-edge of out-of-the-box thinking and innovation: [Cedar Valley Innovation](https://www.facebook.com/cedarvalley.innovation) and [Precision Inflation](https://www.precisioninflation.com/index.php).

## [Is IF/VF the Future of Farm Tires?](https://yohta-blog.yokohama-oht.com/is-if/vf-the-future-of-farm-tires)

Since the development and introduction of IF, then VF, tire technology nearly a decade ago, more and more farmers have been using them as a way to offset withering profits caused by low commodity prices and increasing input costs. Farmers fighting against tighter profit margins can increase their yields with high-tech tires like our AgriFlex line of IF/VF tires, and now the question begs to be asked: are IF/VF the future of farm tires?

# Putting the Alliance AgriFlex 363 to Work
Farmers today face challenges that previous generations couldn't have imagined: stress on the soil from bigger and more powerful equipment, running machinery on the road at higher speeds, and the ever-increasing need to produce more—even in less-than-ideal conditions. We're hard at work designing tires to help farmers and custom applicators overcome the challenges they face on a daily basis. Check out this video where one of our customers talks about how the [Alliance AgriFlex IF 363](http://www.atgtire.com/TireSearchResult.aspx?brid=all&did=139) is helping him to farm more profitably.
