2009 is history, with all its warts and heartaches.
In retrospect, 2009 was a good year, we added the 620 to our line, fine tuned the designs of the complete line. Sales wise and profit wise the year past had quite a bit to be desired. We have no regrets, but do feel bullish in the prospects that 2010 hold.
Personal observation as well as reports from across the country indicate that gophers have had a banner year and their numbers have increased several times. Possibly good for our business but difficult in advising the best approach to control and eradicate the pests.
There are several field applications of the PERC systems that we have gained from farmer input.
First, size matters when treating ground squirrels and prairie dogs. The more carbon monoxide we can put in a burrow system at any given time results in better kill percentages.
By the same token, gopher control is more dependent on the operators attention and diligence in the field than the size of the machine. Granted, the bigger units will cover more acres in any given time and in the end will produce more dependable results. But the 206’s are doing a great job and many farmers love the machine.
We wish our customers and readers a great 2010. We have good times in store for all involved in agriculture, I feel it in my bones.
