Manager’s Words
I mentioned last month that I would update everyone on our projected goals for the year. Here it is:
- We have purchased a new truck to expand our weed and brush spraying capacity.
We have a new spray truck that will be complete around the first of the year. This new truck will allow us to get into smaller spaces and provide another truck for when breakdowns occur. - We are upgrading one of our dry fertilizer trucks to a more dependable truck.
We now have two updated and efficient dry fertilizer trucks. - We will decide on how to change or expand our feed mill.
We have decided to remodel our feed mill. This project will increase our production capacity and efficiency. Be looking for the changes to go into effect around the middle of 2025. - We will continue to update technology in our store for better communication and interaction.
We updated our credit card system and our phone lines to make our interaction faster and more efficient.
Thank you for your business,
Willis Braden
