An Introduction, Invitation

We all bring our gifts.

I learned that in high school. My geometry teacher patted my shoulder as she said it. It was her way of telling me my gift was not the Pythagorean theorem.

Your gift, in broad terms, is to manufacture innovative equipment for farmers. You succeed through your own smarts but also through relationships and knowledge of goings-on in the industry. That is where the Farm Equipment Manufacturers Association and I come into play.

I found my niche as a writer and editor, and I joined the Farm Equipment Manufacturers Association to spend my days gathering and distributing news relevant to Association members. You and I can work together on this.

As you review this issue of the Shortliner and the soon-to-be published May issue of Ag Innovator, ask yourself what could make it more useful for you, and let me know. You can reach me at Kristi@FarmEquip.org or (314) 878-2304.

If I did not have the opportunity to meet you in Charlotte, I look forward to saying hello at our Fall Convention in Kansas City.

Happy Manufacturing,

Kristi
