I hope I’m wrong on this but I don’t see this being beneficial long term. Are 22 locations needed to provide “world class support” when we’re less than an hour from Deere world headquarters? I’d imagine all that changes is just more hoops to jump through

Blake Arnold brings us his 'In the Field' update from Southeast Iowa. Southeast Iowa is nearly completely planted with both corn and soybeans. Jefferson County could be in need for some rain if the current forecast comes true. #HertzAg #IntheField #23GrowingSeason

Spent some time this week at the @FarmFutures Business Summit. Excellent speakers both days, and really opened my eyes on how to improve in 2023 and beyond.
