PEI POTATO BOARD LAUNCHES VIGNETTES

Jan 15, 2020

It takes an Island. This memorable tag line underscores the uniqueness of Prince Edward Island potatoes in seven vignettes to be released in 2020. The project is a spin-off of an advertising campaign launched in 2017.

Even in Prince Edward Island with a small population of 157,000, there are consumers who are misinformed about potato production. This outreach project is designed to put consumers in touch with how potatoes are grown.

"I've had some good friends that are very smart that don't know how potatoes come out of the ground," says Mark Phillips, marketing specialist, PEI Potato Board.

The seven videos address the themes of introducing the PEI potato industry, planting, growing, harvesting, grading, family traditions and uniqueness.

Video: Winter Service Inspections for John Deere Equipment - The FarmCast Ep64

The FarmCast, host Troy Randall speaks with Doug Luedke, Vice President of Service, and Davin Peterson, Executive Vice President of Aftermarket at 21st Century Equipment, to discuss the importance of proactive service and how it helps farmers reduce downtime during their busiest seasons. The conversation focuses on the Winter Service Inspection Program, a comprehensive approach designed to keep equipment running at peak performance and limit costly in-season breakdowns through preventative maintenance and expert technician support.

Doug and Devin explain how 21st Century Equipment’s service teams have evolved to meet the needs of today’s connected machines. With more technology and data integrated into modern equipment, technicians now play a vital role in both mechanical repairs and precision ag support. Through advanced diagnostics, machine monitoring, and John Deere’s Expert Alerts, they can identify and address potential issues before they become major problems—saving customers valuable time, money, and frustration.

Throughout the discussion, the team shares real-world success stories demonstrating how proactive inspections and customer-focused service help maximize uptime and efficiency for every operation. Whether it’s a large tractor, combine, or small mower, the goal remains the same: to provide trusted, reliable support that helps farmers and landowners stay productive and confident in their equipment year-round.
