Some neat "Farmers Advice"
Check out the web page tabs (see above):
​
Calendar – this is new, not set up and working yet. Intend to post things here for our JD community with a link to whomever would be the contact person for that event. Welcome to post your events!
​
Community news – like in the email newsletter….. Included here are things of interest for current and retired JD employees and things happening.
Obituary – Sure don’t want this web page to grow too fast… but I will commit to updating this as I hear from all of you about such happenings. Remember, I add all the information I have and rely on others to send me details.
​
Industry News – as in my email newsletter…. I tried to include items here that were directly related to our work and industry. Many times interesting news about competition. Much of what I have included in the past come from ALL OF YOU. Keep sending what you find to share with others.
​
General Information of Interest – same as in the past…. Other news items and such that I have felt would be of interest. Check out the tractor for sale….. :) :) :)
​
Comments and suggestions are welcome.
​
Sincerely,
Jim
