Grandma’s Got a Blue iPod

Chuck Zimmerman

Edith Gaffner With Blue iPodThe winner of the New Holland Blue iPod contest which was held at their Commodity Classic booth is Edith Gaffner of Greenville, IL. Here at ZimmComm we like to provide order fulfillment with a smile so I was in St. Louis already and decided to just drive out to the Gaffner farm to personally meet Edith.

I had a very enjoyable conversation with Edith while I was there. She says they have good high speed internet access and they’re online everyday. Her grandchildren are very impressed that Grandma’s got an iPod! The iPod came pre-loaded with the interviews I did at Commodity Classic and the pictures I took. Those pictures included 2 of her granddaughters who were coincidentally chosen to draw the winner of the New Holland Zero Turn Radius Mower they also gave away in a drawing at Commodity Classic. What are the chances of that happening?

Blue iPod Engraved with New Holland-Commodity ClassicI interviewed Edith so that you can learn a little more about her and her farm in Greenville, IL. They’ve actually turned things over to their son who’s now the dairyman, soybean and wheat grower.
