Hello, readers! It’s been a crazy summer, and things are finally winding down… but I’m still on the road, trying to see as many of our wonderful customers as possible.
This week, I was in beautiful San Marcos, California, doing a maintenance seminar with our good friends at Crop Production Services. I always love doing these seminars, because I get to see people’s injectors and how they’re holding up. Lots of people brought Dosatrons that were over 10 years old, and still going strong.
We discussed proper seal maintenance, and as always, I stressed how important it is. Many of the growers in attendance had never done any maintenance on their Dosatron, but they were all amazed at how easy it is. Changing out your seals annually really is one of the easiest, best things you can do to lengthen the life of your Dosatron and keep it working properly.
After the seminar, CPS served a barbecue lunch and I got to eat with all the growers, which was a blast. I had a great time meeting them, and getting to hear their stories.
That’s it for now; next week, I’m off to Amsterdam to attend Horti Fair 2009. Keep an eye out for my updates on the show!
Until my next tale from the road,
Lela
