Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and more often if indications of impairment exist. The Company conducts its annual impairment analyses as of October 1 each fiscal year. As of June 30, 2020, the Company concluded there were indicators of impairment during the three months ended June 30, 2020 related to one of its smaller reporting units, which was a 50%-owned tillage and seeding joint venture. As a result, the entire goodwill balance of this reporting unit was impaired, and during the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $20.0 million as "Impairment charges" within the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, with an offsetting benefit of approximately $10.0 million included within "Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests." During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company sold its 50% interest in the joint venture.
