Remembering the Pearts & Their Connection to Ag Machinery

This week was the 4th anniversary of the passing (1-7-20) of the iconic Neil Peart of Rush music fame. As a result this blog by editor/publisher Mike Lessiter has been recirculated this week. It examines Neil's early career in ag machinery, and also included dialog with his now-late father Glen, an IH dealer-principal who later was an dealer association executive

The World's Largest Hat Collection You Have to See to Believe

Over time the collection grew and Scott Legried’s father set personal goals for the number and types of hats he wanted to collect. One of those achievements was tied to John Deere dealerships. “He wanted to get a John Deere hat that said the state and the name of the dealership, implement dealer from every state, so all 50 states,” Legried says. Once he had all 50 states he set out to get one from each Canadian province as well.

Took me a while to get started, didn't it? So, here we go: our top 10 Dealership New Years Resolutions!"
