that we operate in and that they all have an overall understanding of the values and products that K-Line Ag stands for.” “I don’t think we have had a negative customer experience with the K-line Ag products to date! Customers who have brought the Speedtiller Powerflex ® always rave about what a great job it does. When we first started selling the Powerflex ® product Rob would fly down to do a run around and make sure all the machines were started up properly and adjusted just right – it’s hard to get that level of commitment from any manufacturer these days.” Sam’s tip: Buy off someone you trust – that’s the most important part.

There is a shortage of labour from the most basic unskilled labour through to highly specialised field technicians to service the machinery. The shortage of workers is more prominent in the rural areas.” Sam states; “It’s a great time to be in Agriculture – during this time of such uncertainty in the world we have seen a return to focus on the importance of food security and peoples willingness to pay a premium for the high quality agricultural products that we produce in our region.

The ability to find labour is another key issue we face as an overall agricultural industry.
