KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Calibrate, a network of experienced agribusiness executives and operators, is expanding its presence within the farm equipment sector to help manufacturers, distributors, representatives, dealers and related organizations solve complex business challenges with practical, industry-specific expertise.

Calibrate brings together senior leaders from across agriculture and assembles teams based on the specific challenge, opportunity or stage of growth facing a client.

For farm equipment manufacturers and dealers, Calibrate’s capabilities include dealer network performance, sales strategy, commercial planning, acquisitions and integration, organizational alignment, market entry, technology adoption, leadership support and growth strategy.

Video: Learning to Wrench From Dad the Hard Way

Harvest is a week out and the farm picked this week to fall apart. The truck needs a battery, the barn curtain's got a problem, and the corn and beans are telling us we're out of time to get it all fixed.

So it's a full day of wrenching. Tork supervises while I get the truck back running, then we're out at the hog barn where one rusted up part has the whole curtain system hung up. Ladder work, cable work, and a little dad-and-son disagreement about the right way to do it. We close it out walking the fields, shelling beans and checking corn, because whether everything's fixed or not, harvest starts when harvest starts.
