On the geopolitical front, I hope Russia’s war on Ukraine has ended by the time you read this letter, but unfortunately, I doubt it will be. Even if that were true, the damage that has been wreaked by the invading Russian army will have a multi-year global impact on energy, fertilizer and grains. As you will read elsewhere in this flyer, we had an employee in Ukraine at the time of the Russian invasion, so through his eyes, we have seen firsthand the terrible devastation to critical agricultural infrastructure this war has created. Fortunately, our employee, Alex, has made it home safely, and I hope you enjoy reading his story. What his story doesn’t tell you is we have been shipping “4th trade” sprayers and combines to Ukraine since 2011, so it looks like we are going to have to look for a new outlet for those high-hour last trades for the foreseeable future!
To our valued friends &
On our end of the business, we continue to struggle with shipping delays from Deere…most all of which have impacted many of you. Deere continues to be challenged by COVID-19 and its variants in their labor pool, the scarcity of labor, component shortages and rising inflation-driven costs on nearly all their manufacturing raw materials. The only bright spot appears to be on parts availability, which is noticeably improving of late.
Sincerely,customers...
I’m sure most of you would agree this year has been full of surprises…some good…some not so good. As we move into the heat of summer, let’s hope some semblance of normalcy returns to the agriculture value chain.
In other company news, I am pleased to announce that we have reactivated our daily parts courier service between our locations. The ongoing challenges of parts availability from the parts depots, plus our desire to get the needed parts in your hands when you need them, has led to this decision. We are still trying to optimize routes and timing, but the courier should soon make a positive impact on parts availability for your operation.
I would also like to thank F&DD Farms (Burlington), LRK Farms (Scottsbluff) and Troy Killen (Holyoke) for allowing us access to some farm ground so our employees in each of those areas could get some real “stick time,” actually operating planters and sprayers equipped with the latest Deere technologies, such as ExactEmerge™ and ExactApply™. It probably doesn’t surprise you that the majority of our employees have never operated modern farm equipment in field conditions, but yet we expect them to sell this equipment, provide parts and repair this equipment every day. We believe we can provide you a higher level of support in the long-term if our sales, parts and service personnel have actually experienced the challenges of operating the equipment and technology you work with every day. I really do appreciate these three cooperators who have allowed us to continue this training over the entire growing season. As I close this letter, I want to thank you for your patience and cooperation as we navigate through these unprecedented times of equipment shortages, higher prices and uncertain lead times for the equipment we do have on order. We sincerely appreciate your business and look forward to a great growing season. Note from OwenOwenPalm

Why you need to update from a 2G or 3G modem to 4G: A 4G modem is what keeps your equipment connected to cellular networks that send communications from your equipment to CellularMyJohnDeere.networks are shutting down their 3G networks, which rely on older technology, to make room for more advanced network services. As a result, any devices with 2G or 3G technology will no longer be supported by the networks. Update your equipment to 4G to ensure you stay connected to services like JDLink and Remote Display access, and to continue any data sync to the John Deere operations center. We have 4Gs in stock and ready to install on your equipment. Give us a call and ask to upgrade your equipment to 4G.
