2007-C1 Farm Machinery and Maintenance

Farm Machinery and Maintenance
deVries, Gibbs

For those starting out in farming, Ray deVries of Ralph’s Greenhouse in Mount Vernon will cover how to adapt tools to fit your needs without going big, expensive, and high tech, as well as how to get by on used equipment, combining parts to create something that will work for your needs.  Grant Gibbs of Gibbs Organic Produce in Leavenworth will show a slideshow of important equipment used in his operation for grain growing, orchard, hay,  cattle, and vegetable farming.  Grant will then talk about preparing your tractor and other farm equipment to perform at maximum capacity for a trouble-free farming season.      He’ll cover what maintenance should be done during the growing season, how to        winterize farm machinery and basic troubleshooting to help diagnose problems before they become too serious.  There will be plenty of time for questions about equipment,   and discussion of creative ways to use the equipment you have.
