SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS (RFD NEWS) — Less than a week remains until the Commodity Classic, the largest farmer-led, farmer-focused event in the country. Attendees will have the chance to explore the latest industry advancements, including new grain management products designed to support producers during the upcoming planting season.
Kerry Hartwig, dryer sales director with Sukup Manufacturing, joined us on Thursday’s Market Day Report to share what farmers can expect at their booth this year.
In his interview with RFD NEWS, Hartwig discussed the types of conversations they have at the event and highlighted key considerations for producers storing grain as spring approaches.
