When a small business helps another small business grow by selling a new air seeder, you get warning shots from @SalfordGroup

In less than a month custom cover crop season will start. Very fortunate to have the business blossom from its start last year. Big thanks to my customers and my industry partners @danbahej

If your county roads department doesn’t have a specific location with a specific address for farmers to dump rocks, you don’t have a rock problem…

Reasons why we run Crustbuster drills 1-Row units are just like a planter row unit with the parallel linkage arms 2-Got narrow bridges and roads? So do we and that’s why we went with the front fold narrow transport 3-Easy to work on row units because they fold up to transport

Key goals that I set out when starting our cover crop seed and application business. Goal 1- Never turn a job down in year 1 Goal 2- Build your application customer base to 20 customers Goal 3- Work with customers to get 20%- 30% of their acres farmed using cover crops

Goal 4- Grow your customer base by 5 new customers per year by personal reach outs. Don’t spend money on paid ads or social media Goal 5- Offer prepay seed discounts. The goal is to have 70%-80% of your customers prepay. Don’t take a loan out just for seed!

Replying to @FoulkShay
@FoulkShay @NickHorob @clintwfischer @chrisbarron24 When it comes to right sizing equipment for a service based business like seeding cover crops, what should be the key metrics I should be accounting for and is there a cut line when bigger isn’t always better?

Here is the list I have thus far: -Efficiency actual running acres/hour or acres/day - Price of upgrade - Return: profit or a percent on return - Labor or man hours - Projected growth - Days/season to complete work - Cost of repair
