Mountain View Equipment Builds New Facility in Jerome, Idaho

CLAAS dealer Mountain View Equipment Co. moved into its new $10 million facility in April, reports Ag Proud Idaho. The new Jerome, Idaho, location is one of 4 stores Mount View Equipment operates. 

Sitting on 13 acres, the new facility includes a shop with 9 service bays, a 10-ton overhead crane and 5,000 square feet of part storage. The service shop is almost twice as large as the shop in the old location. 

In addition to CLAAS, MacDon, Oxbo and Parma, Mountain View Equipment will also begin carrying commercial landscape equipment. It also offer same-day repairs for commercial landscapers out of their new location.

Alberta Honey: A Day at Molenkamp Honey Farms

Video: Alberta Honey: A Day at Molenkamp Honey Farms

When was the last time you read the label on your honey?

We spent a day at Molenkamp Honey Farms with Michael Molenkamp, who has been keeping bees for 17 seasons and runs three to four thousand hives. In mid-September, he was finishing treatments and getting his bees ready for winter, and he walked us through how Alberta honey gets made.

Alberta has just 150 commercial beekeepers running 300,000 colonies, and together they produce 40% of Canada’s honey. Long summer days and golden canola fields give Alberta honey a light flavour that’s hard to match anywhere else.

Molenkamp calls Alberta beekeepers some of the most resilient farmers he knows. There’s plenty of Alberta honey to go around, but a lot on our shelves isn’t from here, so his ask is simple. Give the label a second look and choose honey made by Alberta beekeepers, or buy straight from a beekeeper near you.
