This is what I call a “revolutionary” way to get out and solicit some business. I’m thinking AgWired Bus! Nothing like borrowing a good idea. Of course it would have to have satellite high speed internet access but wouldn’t that be a cool way to blog around the countryside? In fact, I’ve suggested that New American Farm’s Ben Allen do just that so we know what’s happening on this tour each day!
You can see a neat little video about the company on their website here.
REVOLUTIONARY FARM COMPANY LAUNCHES 60-CITY TOUR
“BREAKING GROUND” TOUR SWEEPS MIDWEST, SELECTING FARMERS FOR INTEGRATED PRODUCTION OPERATION
Austin, TX – New American Farm, a farmer-owned production company, announced today that it will launch a 60-city, five-month tour that will cover an estimated 10,000 miles and five states across the Midwest on Thursday, June 23, 2005.
The farmer-owned and operated company with just under 20,000 contracted acres will be meeting with pre-selected corn producers across the Midwest to discuss industry consolidation, marketing trends, and the company’s approach to achieving large-scale production. The tour will feature a customized tour bus and appearances at regional farm shows, including the Farm Progress Show, Husker Harvest Days, and FarmFest.
“Our clients represent the best of the best producers across a five-state region who are the first to recognize that banding together is the best defense against inevitable consolidation,” said Ben Allen, CEO of New American Farm. “This tour is about listening to smaller producers, letting them have a voice, and providing an opportunity to be more profitable.”
