And listeners, welcome back to the Farm for Profit podcast. We've got a jam-packed episode for you. I wanted to say thank you for being a listener and for reaching out, following us on all social media platforms. Of course, we love it when you go out and leave us a review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts or even YouTube. Hitting that subscribe button goes a long way for us. I'm going to keep the introduction short. Remember, if you have suggestions for us, farmforprofitllc at gmail.com. But we've got an episode here that features companies that we had conversations with at trade shows this fall. We start off with Shoe Cup at Farm Progress Show and cap this off with a great conversation with some new John Deere technology at the end. So stay tuned all the way through.
It's going to be exciting to see what you missed at the Farm Progress Show and Husker Harvest. Let's get to it now.
Ladies and gentlemen, farmers, ranchers, and distinguished guests, thank you for listening to the Farm for Profit podcast, where we discuss the latest ideas, methods, trends, and techniques available to help your farm achieve higher levels of farm profitability. Remember, if you aren't farming for profit, you won't be farming for long.
Well, it's time to have another great conversation with some of the leading technology in the grain handling industry. And nonetheless, than one of the most popular men with Sukup that we know, Kerry is back on the podcast. Welcome.
Thank you. Appreciate it.
Right. Did I say that correctly? One of the most popular guys within the company.
During harvest, when dryers are running, that could be the case.
Now that John's retired.
Oh, John's retired? I didn't know John retired.
Okay. Kerry, why don't you remind our listeners who you are and what your role is?
Kerry Hartwig, and I'm the dryer sales director here at Sukup. So kind of work between engineering and sales and our service guys on the dryer product line.
Kerry was one of the first representatives that I ever met because you came and spoke at one of the very first Farm for Profit conferences.
Innovator, right? Yes. Yes.
What a great presentation, Dan, and I feel like your message has only gotten better ever since.
Didn't you have to put up one of their grain bins while you were there, if I remember this story, the safety home?
We had the FFA kids come help us put that together, and they all had to leave to go to a sports practice. So the last hour and a half of putting the safety home together was us. Okay, so we're here having an exposure at some of the upgrades that Sucup has done to their already extremely important and reliable equipment. What are we talking about?
Well, on a dryer line specifically, we've got basically everything, every option of dryer that's out there, we make it. Whether that's tower dryers, primarily commercial, the screen dryers are kind of more of the small farm, all heat, dump hot, cool in the bin type of a dryer. And then the mixed flow dryers, which have really been, you know, soaring in popularity the last five years or so, those have really kind of started taking over what's being ordered and produced.
Corey, did you follow the trend? Are you now running a mixed flow dryer?
We have a mixed flow dryer on our farm. We went up to Sukup last fall, went through, what do you guys call that, dryer school? Yeah. Yeah. And I tell you what, that was really, really helpful because there's so much new technology. No longer is it heat and flow and all that. There's a lot more going into it.
That's really one of the most fun events of the entire year for us because we invite all the new dryer customers to come in to SUCUP. We do the plant tour, but then we spend two, three hours just going through how to run your dryer and then talk about all the different sensors and a lot of it's terminology even. So we're not talking about that doohickey on the top, you know, it's a specific name and just makes troubleshooting and making things work a lot easier. Can we hit the red button?
