@clintwfischer The thing I find difficult is getting on these customers radars. You can stop and leave a card while most are at their day jobs. The ones that call me when they need service i can support while they aren’t on the farm but most don’t reach out or make themselves available.

Started something new a little while ago. We bought a used vertical mixer that we use to mix our baleage and corn silage together and then feed it out in our J bunks that we had from our dairy herd. This gives our big momma cows 130 ft of dinner table to eat from.

It’s almost time to use the new toy. Even Cortaca is bummed that we aren’t using it yet. Pottinger

Gramp hadn’t plowed in a few years before he passed this winter but it was always his favorite thing to do on the farm. I couldn’t help but look up today as I got this rig ready and say “Plows are ready gramp, time to turn dirt.”

Some people just don’t know who they are talking to when they talk to salesmen

I bought a stihl RE90 electric pressure washer for my parents house. Really impressed with it for washing cars and tractor windows so far this winter. https://t.co/Fvc8zNEOLy

Not how I wanted to spend the last hour of my work day in a pair of jeans I’ve worn twice. @Wrangler

The internet has changed selling equipment so much. The fact that we sign financial notes over email and never meet face to face is crazy to me. Makes you wonder if I’m irrelevant in 0 years 😬
