Good Mood despite of rain and chill

Luckily our great hosts were prepared and provided a shelter.

Jan de Winkel Experience

At Jan de Winkel's beautiful dealership I met again quite a number of people. I am better in chopping than in counting but I believe there were over 70 people. I really liked this light place with all the nice John Deere equipment there.

And again I enjoyed the good weather (sun!) and the nice crop that I could chop. Once more I was introduced to some journalists and I am sure you can find a lot about me by now on the web, agriculture magazines or on YouTube.
