Now that Old Man Winter has finally arrived in Central Iowa, we’ve got some snow on the ground and frigid temperatures. But that’s not stopping us here at Ag Leader Academy! We’ve been making some “cool” improvements to the building and classrooms so that our trainings are even better than ever!

Now that the training season has come to an end, it’s time to start thinking about crawling back into the driver’s seat of your combine.  As you are preparing for your journey to the field, I thought it might be good to share some common questions from customer training and the pre-harvest checklist to ensure [...]

This summer, Ag Leader has brought in its dealers from all over the country. By August 12th, Ag Leader Academy will have hosted 62 dealer trainings since June 2nd, and a total 110 dealer trainings for 2011!

Since my last post I have had to empty out my rain gauge a few times.  It does not happen very often we complain about all the rain that we are getting in mid to late July.  While I do not have the answer to why we are receiving all of this rain now, I [...]

It’s hard to believe that July is almost here and fall harvest is not all that far away.  It won’t be long and the kids will be back in school and we will all be wondering the same thing – where did this summer go?  As I drive by corn and soybean fields on my [...]
