New American Farm Bus Tour

Chuck Zimmerman

New American Farm TourbusThis 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.

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!
