Still a young man, our special guest Doug Termeer has enjoyed a larger-than-life life - growing up with six brothers and two sisters in the Carman, Manitoba area. He recalls riding in his Dutch-Canadian family's giant van, playing shinny games on a frozen river, and starting work at the tender age of twelve.

He tells how that experience led to a sales career with Walinga, where he’s forged great relationships with his customers. His relationship with snow is a little more strained after it stole his hockey pucks in his youth and later barged into his hotel room during a trade show trip.

Farm size matters – Mitch, Regan, and Trevor resume their discussion on regional farm sizes and why asking a farmer about his total acreage isn’t meant to be a personal question.

Jason Basset of Peterson Grain Processors has been a Bruno Saskatchewan athlete, financial services professional, farmer, and seed-cleaning plant operator. Now he shares his insights on mellowing with age, farm estate planning, accepting risk, the future of ag business, and hockey and broomball.

Flaman’s Jonathan Stratton stops by to talk best-in-class service – what it looks like, why it’s important to be proactive, how it’s changed with technological advancements and a growing customer base.

Losing their census – Trevor asks Mitch and Regan which Canadian province has the most farms. Then just for fun, he asks how many horses Canadians had in 1921. No counting hooves and dividing by four.

“I've never not wanted to go to work in the morning,” says our special guest, Ron Kleuskens. His road to becoming a Technical Sales Rep at AGI started right out of high school, doing what some would call “grunt work” for a geotechnical engineering firm. A friend’s introduction to farm equipment inspired Ron to start his own ag business serving Ontario’s lush farming country. He’s proven himself as a driller of holes, a saviour of fish, and a quitter of no task set before him.

Flaman’s Shaun Gettis talks about Flaman specialty trailers, particularly our multi-featured sprayer tenders. He explains the customer-focused thinking behind their simplicity, capacity and ease of use.
