    Seeing the head of the company in the driver seat of the tractor using the products he sells, says a lot.

    I worked there from August 2013 to September 2014. I wasn't an innovator really, just ran tools and drove a forklift. But I loved every minute of it. I loved the positive energy in the plant, even when it was hot as hades. I didn't mind the commute. Sad day when the layoff came.

    Great story of entrepreneurism. An American success story not just in ag, but in all of business and manufacturing.

    Very interesting! I was hired by Deere just before the tussle over the row units and had to help go through records for the attorneys. Over the years, I have admired and sometimes envious the development that Kinze was able to accomplish. You did touch on something that I felt is very important is that the engineers need to know how machines are used and how to set them up and fix them. Not just look on a computer screen and that is good enough. I feel that is lacking in the majors today. I do miss the hands on stuff now that I am retired. I am also envious of your tractor collection.

    The thing that I admire most, is that Deere tried taking him down but he still uses and collects Deere tractors. He doesn't seem to hold a grudge. I highly recommend his book. It's a very good read!

    I bought a Kinze auger wagon with a scale. That is nice to have for checking yields and for loading a semi for market in the off season. Everything is heavy and well built with grease zerks. Thank you Kinze for a well built piece of machinery!

    I hadn't been following the company but am glad you were able to hire a good electronics team. Although the company started as a mechanical products innovator, it's hard to imagine a modern planter without the use of electronic sensors and it's just as important that they're reliable.

    Our first grain buggy was a 180 bushel Eddins made in Stuttgart Ark in the early 1960's they were good grain buggies.
    My dads first rice crop was on a 40 acres in eastern poinsett county, i think it was a medium grain variety and it lodged on him he had a John Deere 95 B combine no grain cart and a roughly 60 mile round trip to the rice mill. It took him 45 days to cut that 40 acres. He was setting more than he was cutting. The following year he bought the grain cart and expanded to roughly 160 acres of rice. Then he turned his rice ground back in the mid 60's after his dad and mom were killed in a carwreck to manage my grandfathers farm and estate. Almost 600 acres of cotton and soybeans with some winter wheat.

    You guys have alot of cool stuff. I own a 1200 pt planter which probably has the best row unit ever made. I've often contemplated putting that row unit on you frame because they seem simpler in design and not so cluttered. Maybe your speed disk will be the first one of your items to purchase. :)

    I don’t farm. Dont know how to farm but I want a Kinze folding, articulating row planter grain cart switchblade farming implement thing. Maybe even 2. Dunno what I’d do with it could unload and singularte something. Grass clippings maybe. Don’t have a tractor either but my John Deere zero turn has gotta be able to do something other than mow and look cool, right? Lol.

    You need to have godly sorrow for your personal sins that you have done,
    2 Corinthians 7:10
    King James Version
    10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
    You need to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and his finished work on the cross,

    8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
    9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

    King James Version
    9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

    If you do not get saved you will die in your sins,
