Our Testimonials

Life Made Easier & More Accurate!

I have the Farm Shop, Grain Temp Guard alarm HT and I religiously check them weekly. It will tell you right away if the temp is going up, or the humidity is changing(moisture migration) and you need to run the fans. I’ve been doing this for 40 years and as you get older it gets harder to climb the bins. With the Grain Temp Guard system, I can stand on the ground, read what is going on! I don’t have to worry about frost, ice, rain; I can stand on the ground, read the monitor, it tells you what is going on and you do what you have to do!

Pretty pleased with these Germinator Closing Wheels. They put those copperhead inserts to shame. That’s a fact!

Nate Grosboll, Petersburg IL

I’m 600 acres into planting, both no-till and some worked. I absolutely love the closing wheels! I should have done this years ago! Depth band is the key. I’ve fought other closing wheels in the past running too deep in light sandy soil and popping the seed out. I don’t have that issue with these.
