Seen here is Kurt Schulz, group sales manager of Mascor, touting
the benefits of a tractor on tracks instead of wheels. More than 300 of
KwaZulu-Natal’s top farmers converged for an information day at the Royal
Showgrounds in Pietermaritzburg yesterday, where the Mascor Group showed the
latest John Deere agricultural developments for sugar cane, forestry and small
farming applications.
The new MD for John Deere in sub-Saharan Africa, Jason
Brantley, said Mascor was the first group yet in the tractor company’s long
history to win Dealer of the Year for three years running.
He told us food security and water
scarcity are now worldwide economic concerns, but he was very excited about Jonh
Deere’s ability to mechanise farms to ensure repeatable success — both for
emerging and established farmers — by empowering them with specialist tools,
finance and skills to ensure more ‘crops per drop’.
