We can show them who we are, what we do, factory tours and those types of things. We're thinking long term. We have a great fit between all of our tillage, seeding, planting, and really, we're trying to show the customers and our dealers out there that Vaderstad is in this for the long haul and our technologies, when they're all combined, we've got a great, unique offering to the farmer, but we need to start somewhere.”
