FRANK'S NOTE Frank Brummer, President Farmweld, Inc.

Ever since Farmweld designed its first feeder, we have kept our customers’ needs at the forefront in developing products.

A good example of Farmweld’s commitment to helping our customers satisfy their production goals is Randy Koehl and his family of Hancock, MN. After seeing the positive results from using our 18”x 24” (458 mm x 610 mm) Farmweld Flooring System plastic panel, the Koehls were ready to install Farmweld panels again when they built a new sow unit. But, they determined they wanted 5’6”(1.676 M) crate platforms which required a 24” x 24” (610 mm x 610 mm) panel, not something we offered at the time.

After considering this desire carefully, Farmweld determined that other producers would likely also appreciate this same option, so we moved ahead to develop a new 24” x 24” (610 mm x 610 mm) plastic panel. We are happy to provide our customers with even more flexibility for designing their facilities while adhering to our same high standards for quality of materials and craftsmanship with the new panel.

Another example of Farmweld serving various customer needs is our introduction of the new Farmweld SuperClick™ Wet-Dry Feeder. In recent years, we’ve been getting requests to adapt our popular Farmweld Jumbo Feeder for a wet-dry option. We were intrigued, but we knew we didn’t want to offer just another wet-dry feeder, and we wanted to provide the same high level of adjustment accuracy as our Jumbo feeder.

The result is a totally new concept in click feeders, using a single lever to control the adjustment setting for the entire feeder. You can read about how the SuperClick is being used by Matt and Mark Steidinger and Art Lehmann at their new wean-to-finish facility by clicking here.

I hope you enjoy this issue of ProgressivePork! We look forward to seeing you at the winter shows.
