From there, then it's a pretty healthy mix of... Dairy, beef, there is some poultry still around that we work with. And from time to times, I ran into a gentleman that had a deer farm in Texas, like one of the game ranches. And he used a grinder mixer to supplement his deer herd and fill up his feeders that he had out on this ranch. So there's some niche kind of uses of them.
That's cool. So what came after the grinder mixer?
there is a podcast in iowa funk for profit was named by they they stirred up a banker near then quick came an auctioneer making profit was their first goal oh boy oh boy oh boy soon may the farmers come to bring us guests and beer and fun one day when the recording's done we'll take our mics and go before we knew conversations grew growing corn even
One day when the coating's done, we'll take our mics and go.
It's time for a party on today's Farm for Fun episode. We've got a big celebration. You've got something on your face. Other cheek. Other cheek. Get that off there. Oh, no. It's like a bug or something. It's like your mascara's running.
What? I thought, shouldn't you like, where's makeup? Where's makeup? Yeah, you got it. You're good to go now. We're having a party. We are. We're going to have a party. Celebrating.
That was probably confetti.
70 years.
That's what you need to hear. A whole cannon.
AJ would be really busy. Yeah. AJ's our robot vacuum. Messes up every time it works.
So it doesn't work. It just always messes up. I'll tell you, the 70 years we're celebrating today, they don't mess up. But before we get into that, listeners, conversations like this come because you suggest them. Connect at farmforprofit.com or you send us a text, 515-207-9640. But this is the year of the subscription. And we're not talking about those fancy apps that tell you that you forgot to cancel your Netflix or you've got two subscriptions to Dave's auction website or whatever that is. We need you to hit subscribe on YouTube. How terrible was that?
It was pretty terrible, but you did save me because I had to cancel my Apple TV subscription because I wanted to watch F1 with Brad Pitt. So I subscribed to it, and I've probably paid for a month or two of it now.
That got me. That's a habit now. Go in and just check your subscriptions monthly to make sure you're not. I need to start putting it on my calendar. Yeah.
We are sitting right now either at one of three locations at the Commodity Classic. So if you are there and for some reason the presentation you're listening to is boring enough that you've got the podcast pulled up, come find us. John Deere, Corteva, or AgExplorer. We'll be there. You'll probably find at least one of us, if not all. Come and hang out. But we're excited to kick off today's conversation. Yep. Ready? Go for it.
Today on the Farm for Fun show, we meet up with a friend of the podcast that's representing a really cool Iowa company that's celebrating 70 years in business. This business was founded in 1956, specializing in grinder mixers, forage and hay equipment, and crop and field tools. Also got some modular buildings and some other stuff that I'm sure we'll talk about. Please welcome the inside sales rep from Armstrong, Iowa, for Artsway Manufacturing, Mr. Jim Kronk.
Thank you. Thank you.
Welcome. I should have played it. We're going to get crunk this party. We're going to get crunk.
The big one is Emperor's New Groove, crunk, pull the lever. That has been one that has stayed with me since, I don't know. I was like five, six years old when it came out. I have a fun last name.
