EDITOR’S TAKE:
Equipment sales continued their upward trend for both the month of July and year-to-date! The statistics tell the story and that is farmers/ranchers have money for equipment and they are in a buying mood! As we have said many times before, the equipment they are buying is not inexpensive, yet they see it as an investment in their operation. As a CAD member, you can also demonstrate how purchasing or leasing a truck from you is also a wise investment. How? By showing them the amazing incentives and discounts associated with AgPack that can help them save operating expenses on items they definitely need on the farm/ranch. What are you waiting for?
