Did you hear about the SSCA Staff member that walked into a farmer's quonset and asked the air seeder, "Hey! What's a nice retrofitted air seeder like you doing in a place like this? I could make you a star!"
If you haven't heard that one before, not to worry, no one else has, either, but it caught your attention, didn't it?
Seriously, the Staff are always on the look-out for examples of machinery that you have changed to make work for you. We know that farmers are always interested in what other farmers are doing or have done and we'd like to be able to show them what you've been doing. If you have retrofitted an air seeder or modified a sprayer or combine chopper and spreader, we would like to know so we can pass that information on to others.
If you call us, one of us will come out and take some photos of your retrofits or modifications. Ideally, we'd like to visit you at a time when the implement is working in the field so we can observe such things as field finish and spread pattern. We'll ask you a lot of questions and try to do an article for a future edition of the Prairie Steward. The photos will likely be made into slides and featured in our many presentations we give throughout the winter. And if the timing is right and you agree to it, we'd like to be able to stop at your farm with a group of farmers on a tailgate tour so they can talk to you directly.
But we can't tell the world about your ingenuity and resourcefulness if we don't know about it. So give us a call and get your machinery out of the quonset and into the pictures!
