Hey guys, this is Nate Dorsey, agronomist with RDO Equipment Company, and you're listening to the Agriculture Technology podcast.

0:06.1

RDO is an industry leader in agriculture equipment and precision agriculture technology.

Thanks for joining us. I'm really excited to welcome our special guest today, Larry Herman.

0:37.3

He works for RDO on the

0:38.9

construction side, and he is a product specialist. So Larry, thanks for joining us today. I want to give
