180 Years Of John Deere Showcased At Austin Threshermen's Reunion

Jul 31, 2017

The 180th anniversary of John Deere equipment was highlighted at the year's Manitoba Threshermen’s Reunion and Stampede held in Austin this past weekend.

Scott Alton helped coordinate all of the tractors that made their way from all over to be showcased at the reunion.

He says it wasn't easy getting all the tractors to Austin.

"It was months of work and a lot of phone calls. A lot of these guys heard that we were going to do the setup and people really love John Deere."

Alton says they've got models as old as the first ever self-scouring plough, all the way up to the brand new 9520 RX.

Video: New Solution Powers Efficient Pork Growth

Alltech has introduced Olerix, an innovative phytogenic blend created to promote growth and feed efficiency in pigs. Through a proprietary coating process, the bioactive blend of phytogenic compounds used in Olerix is designed to outlast the manufacturing process, ensuring consistent outcomes from feed to finish. The result is a high-impact efficiency solution that provides consistent support for gut health, feed efficiency, immune function and growth performance. Olerix is backed by validated trials conducted under modern pork production conditions.

“As the industry searches for technology to drive profitability forward in a more sustainable manner, we’re thrilled to join that effort with our Olerix technology,” said Mark Hulsebus, general manager for U.S. pork at Alltech. “Our work in this phytogenic space is yielding very encouraging results, and we’re excited to make this new opportunity available to pork producers focused on optimizing feed efficiency and growth rates.”

“Olerix represents the next generation of phytogenic technology — combining feed efficiency, livability and immune support into a practical commercial solution producers can implement today,” said Andy Rash, U.S. monogastric director at Alltech.
