In this episode of On the Record, brought to you by Associated Equipment Distributors, Art’s Way Mfg. benefited from increased demand for its ag segment products, reporting Q1 sales up 27.3%.
We also cover major business moves as Yetter finalizes the Martin-Till acquisition, catching up with Steve Martin and Derek Allensworth on what customers and dealers can expect going forward. In the Technology Corner, a precision specialist comes to the rescue on the first day of planting season.
