Farm Equipment's Dealership Minds: Vanderloop Equipment, Profile of a Successful Dealership
As farmers continue to adopt strip-till, what opportunities exist for farm equipment dealers to serve this emerging market?
Jodi DeJong-Hughes, regional extension educator with the Univ. of Minnesota since 1996, has extensive experience analyzing tillage and crop management solutions through research, strip-till workshops and field demonstrations. DeJong-Hughes works alongside farmers, ag industry professionals, equipment manufacturers and government agencies and has organized the Conservation Tillage Conference and Strip Tillage Expos throughout Minnesota.
According to DeJong-Hughes, there are critical factors farmers need to consider when developing a strip-till system that will boost their bottom lines, and dealers can play an integral role in helping customers attain profitability.
