Mid South Farm and Gin Show...Report

I just returned from the Mid-South Farm and Gin Show in Memphis this past week. Very pleased with the results of the show and saw lots of friends and customers.

Highlights of the show were as follows:

Continental 161-181 Conversions getting lots of talk and interest. Sold some in Memphis.

Game Changer ribs...people are seeing they are the real deal.

New Consolidated Rib created the most buzz of the show. People want them. Tired of crooked, cheap cast ribs that lose seed and came with a whole host of performance issues.

Here are a few pictures from the show.:

Mr. Donald Van Doorn received the 3rd annual Vandergriff Pioneer Award at the 2015 Awards Banquet. Mr.Van Doorn was an integral part of  Lummus product development for over 60 years. Pictured above is Loyd with Don's 3 children.

Zane Burkett of Burkett Gin dropped by the booth. He has been running Vandergriff 170 ribs for over 10 years. No issues. This works out to be a pretty cheap rib don't ya think?  Don't have to replace them. Just gin. He also runs Vandergriff/American Jet Dryers. He said if someone tried to take em out, they would have to shoot him.

Loyd and Brad Glenn of Sowega Ginning, Climax, GA. Brad has 5 Lummus 170 Gin Stands. 4 Jet Dryers.  70 Bales per hour gin. Have not seen a better operation anywhere.  He runs Vandergriff Ribs and we are going to test a "Game Changer" 170 Rib there for the 2015 season.

We are taking orders for ribs, wearplates, and Conversions. There is a waiting list for some Models.
