Magnation’s chemical-free water systems make for higher quality water, and mellower soils by reducing friction and density in the water. Due to friction loss, water flow is improved and energy consumption is reduced by 10%. Due to improved solubility, less inputs are needed and water resources are stretched. Ask any farmer to describe the most effective water for growing vibrant, healthy crops and they’ll likely answer you in one word—rain. As a rain drop falls, its molecules become smaller, more agitated and consequently more available to soil, seeds and plants. By emulating the physical forces that create this level of exceptional water quality, Magnation comes as close to natural rain water as possible. When irrigation water passes through technologically customized, engineered magnetic fields created by the Magnation system, its molecular structure is broken down into smaller, more bioavailable clusters, allowing a greater amount of oxygen and nutrients to infiltrate the soil. This softened, rainlike water more easily penetrates soil, spreads across a wider area of ground, helps soil retain moisture, stimulates soil nutrients and enhances plant growth, reducing irrigation requirements by 20%.

Agriculture in the state generated nearly $10 billion in sales in 2014. That’s big business. And that’s why we have specialized officers, dedicated specifically to help farmers, ranchers and others in the ag industry keep their operations stoked and running at full steam. These specialists are familiar with the seasonal nature of the business, and are well-versed in the intricacies of custom-tailoring lines of credit, equipment loans, term loans, revolving lines of credit for livestock, and the countless complexities crop insurance programs introduce. We combine this local customer focus with cutting-edge banking technology and resources that help us respond to customer needs with flexible repayment terms, low rates and locally made decisions – all on a timetable that keeps up with the blistering pace of today’s business environment. And provisions to address the specific needs of ag clients are baked into the company’s structure. “My management team gives me the support I need so I can take the time to get my boots dirty and really get to know my clients,” said Blair Lyon, Vice President of Agricultural and Commercial Lending. “The strong client-partnerships I’ve built are largely due to the support and encouragement I receive from all levels within the organization.” As a bank conceived and rooted on the Snake River Plain, developing agriculture has been a high priority since day one. We now have full-service branches in Idaho Falls, Pocatello, St. Anthony, Ashton and Island Park, and we’re still proud to consider ourselves a hometown bank, committed to friendly, exceptional, personal service. From our vantage point, everything we do to help our customers succeed, directly affects our own success. BLAIR LYON Vice President of Agricultural & Commercial Lending On top of that, we’ve always strived to be a leader when it comes to giving back to the communities we serve. From thousands of dollars in cash donations to civic and educational charities, to thousands of hours of employees’ time, you’ll be hard-pressed to find any local business that puts more resources into improving life in eastern Idaho. “The Bank of Idaho truly is committed to community,” said Marketing Director Jarod Phillips. “Beyond doing business, we want to be good stewards of the communities we serve. We want people to know that our roots are here, we’re homegrown, and we’re making an effort to positively impact the lives of the people around us.” BOOTH 54 - HOLT ARENA DO YOU NEED AG PRODUCTS AND SERVICES?

Gone are the days of missing vacations, children’s ballgames and family time. And it’s all thanks to technology. BaseStation3 native apps for iOS (iPhone, iPad) and Android, Campbell said. With the app, growers can monitor, start and stop pivots and end guns; write and edit programs for Pro2 control panels; and perform many other management tasks. “We work hard to make sure our technology keeps making farmers’ lives better and easier,” said Valley® Irrigation Advanced Technology Product Manager John Campbell. Part of the Valley philosophy is providing growers with the best options for their farms and freeing up time for other things. That means listening to what growers want and need. “The app on this is awesome,” says Steve Berg, a Kennewick, Wash., farmer with 36 pivots running on BaseStation3. “It has everything on it that I like and use regularly.” Listening was key in the development of BaseStation3™, which lets growers monitor and control their center pivots from a computer, tablet or smartphone. Growers said they wanted quick and easy access to the control features they use most, so Valley developed The cutting-edge technology of BaseStation3 also means growers can choose an Internet-connected or stand-alone installation, and select data radio, cellular modems, Internet protocol or a combination of technologies – a choice no one else offers. Another BaseStation3 exclusive: A typical installation doesn’t require any recurring fees. Learn more about BaseStation3 at www.valleyirrigation.com. DO MORE WORK BY HARDLY LIFTING A FINGER. ANNOUNCING THE NEW, INTUITIVE BASESTATION3™. It’s time to dole out the chores.

If so, an IRS 1031 Tax Deferred Exchange is for you. On certain types of property you may defer the recognition of capital losses or capital gains due at time of sale, under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of the United States. This allows you to defer capital gains taxes that would be otherwise due. You do not have to exchange with the owner of the property you want to purchase. You can sell to one buyer and buy from another owner. Real property, and some other types of property that are held for the productive use in a trade or business or for investment generally qualify for 1031 tax deferred treatment. Property like stocks, bonds and other types do not qualify. Property is exchanged rather than bought and sold. Exchanged properties must be of “like kind”. In other words, it must be in the same character and nature but are not required to be same quality. There are many options when exchanging Real Property. You can exchange a ranch for commercial building downtown or a rental home for a farm. Properties being exchanged through a 1031 in the United States must be exchanged for other property in the United States. …Find the rest of this article in our current issue of The Range Writer...Email us for a digital or mailed copy.

His family’s farm today covers 5,500 acres spread over a 30 miles area in southeast Idaho. In recent years, potato growers like Searle have been looking for solutions to address a serious water shortage in this region. After testing and research, Searle has found what he considers to be a viable, cost-saving solution. Searle. “At least 10% less water was needed on the Magnation side.” In addition, Searle found that on the half of the field that was treated via Magnation, they could reduce the amount of fertilizer they needed.

(BHN)—the producer of the HUMA GRO® line of plant nutrition and protection products—uses its Micro Carbon Technology® (MCT) to complex nutrients and other ingredients with extremely small carbon- and oxygenrich molecules, creating a delivery vehicle that makes our products much more effective and efficient than any known plant nutrient sources on the market. The HUMA GRO® family of products offers growers a comprehensive line-up of complete crop programs and has a sustainable solution for every crop need: Sustainable Soil Fertility, Optimal Growth Management, Ultra-Efficient Crop Nutrition (N-P-K macronutrients, secondary macronutrients, and micronutrients), Zero-Residue Crop Protection (OMRI-Listed, EPA exempt), Carbon-Rich Organic Acids, and Soil Surfactants. All HUMA GRO® liquid nutrition products contain MCT. MCT-based HUMA GRO® products have a positive environmental impact, promote the growth of roots and beneficial microorganisms in the soil, are safe for foliar application to leaves without toxicity or burn when applied per label instructions, and reduce the amount of fertilizer applied and crop protection products needed to accomplish maximum results. The unique Micro Carbon Technology® allows individual and mixed nutrients to be absorbed by the plant more efficiently. The tiny molecule size makes all the difference. It adds effectiveness to the fertilizer and protects nutrients from soil “tie-up.” The smaller carbon molecule size also creates a greater surface area to more easily carry nutrients into the plant. For potato growers at this time of the year, our recommended focus is on building the soil structure and microbial ecosystem in preparation for spring planting. This is particularly important for soils that were fumigated at the end of last season to remove parasitic nematodes and other pests. Our premier product for this purpose is SOIL-MAX™. SOIL-MAX™ Improves Soil Structure SOIL-MAX™ complexed with Micro Carbon Technology® improves soil structure and stimulates the activity of beneficial bacteria in the soil. This balances the carbon-oxygen ratio, creating a carbon-rich soil that allows the bulk soil and rhizosphere to be more active. SOIL-MAX™ increases availability of nutrients blocked by mineralization in soils and also helps to diminish the stress of saline soils and pH extremes. Benefits of Use: • Activates beneficial aerobic bacteria and actinomycetes • Improves soil structure (flocculates clay particles or aggregates sand) • Solubilizes inorganic nutrients for efficient plant uptake • Increases water penetration and water-holding capacity • Improves buffering of extreme soil pH and sequestering of salts • Stimulates root-mass development • Aerates the soil Fine Tune Your Crop Nutrition Program The use of HUMA GRO® products in both soil and foliar applications gives growers the flexibility to fine tune their nutrition program to achieve quality improvements and yield increases. The efficient and effective delivery of the necessary nutrient package to the plant at the optimum time in a manner that maximizes the product’s efficiency gives the grower a definite edge. This delivery system also gives growers a cost advantage over other soil and foliar- applied products. HUMA GRO® products with Micro Carbon Technology® set the industry standard for reducing costs, reducing environmental impact, and increasing the quality and yields of your crop. BHN and HUMA GRO® are 4R Nutrient Stewardship Partners of the Fertilizer Institute. For more information, go to www.humagro.com. DO YOU NEED AG PRODUCTS AND SERVICES?

The farmer ran the tracks for three years and they worked perfect, so I decided to do the same work for other people.” Critel started repairing tracks at West Point in 2000, and perfected his process well enough to open a second location six years later in Richmond, Ind. In 2012 he opened a third location in Parma, Idaho to serve customers in the west and northwest. “When I started there was no history or no precedent for rebuilding tracks, everything was hand work,” Critel says. “It was tough to figure out how to remove the old lugs and guide blocks, and equally tough to re-build the new lugs and blocks into a uniform size and shape.” As Critel and his crew learned more, they built their own specialized equipment to mechanically buff the tread off the outside of a track and then remove the guide blocks on the inside. “We remove the worn pieces with mechanical buffers,” Critel says, “and that saves a tremendous amount of hand labor. After we solved that problem, we made an extruder and dies to make new lugs and guide blocks the exact size and shape of those on new tracks. We pound those onto the track by hand, then seal them in place with an autoclave. When the process is complete, the tracks are like new.” Critel says that rebuilding tracks costs about a third the amount that a farmer would spend on new tracks for a tractor, combine or grain cart. “We can rebuild them with a standard lug that’s 2 1/2” tall, a low disturbance lug that’s 1 1/2 in. tall and add extra lugs. We can also replace the guide blocks and can rebuild rubber on roller wheels, driver wheels and idler wheels. Most of our jobs are around $5,000, compared to $15,000 to $17,000 that a guy would spend on a new set of tracks,” Critel says. “We’re saving people a ton of money, and we’re also making better use of resources because we’re re-using the old belts. I’ve had one guy put two sets of lugs on one set of belts, so he’s already gotten three lifetimes out of his original investment.” Critel’s replacement lug work is done on tracks for Deere, Cat and Case IH tractors, on combines and grain carts. “We can work on any size tracks,” Critel says. These days Critel’s business is a true family operation and his customers are from all over the USA and Canada. His Richmond office is managed by his daughter Tammy and his daughter Kim and her husband Bill manage the Parma location. The West Point location is managed by his son-in-law, Marlan and his youngest daughter Brenda.

BOOTH 25 - HOLT ARENA Bruce Waldram and Kevin Ward have been working with Crop Insurnace and Farm Policies for a combined 57 years of experience. Bruce started around 1974 and has worked with several different companies as he grew in experience and knowledge. At some point he knew it was time to start his own agency and be able to work with his son Matt, so Castle Lake Insurance was born. Kevin worked on his father’s farm in his youth, and farmed full time for 18 years after college. With his father and brothers they built the farm into a 4000+ acre farm and cow/calf operation. This farming experience gives Kevin a different and better perspective on the simbiotic relationship of Farming and Crop Insurance most other agents don’t have. He’s also been know to help his growers in need and can be found on a tractor as often as possible. Both Bruce and Kevin understand risk management needs to agriculture and the value vs cost to meet the individual needs of each grower. They work hard to teach the programs and pair policies to meet those needs at the lowest possible cost. By helping the growers understand the policies, they are able to make better coverage choices. Agriculture is still the backbone of this country whether the general public understand it or not. America has the most plentiful and safest food supply if the world. Idaho is the leader in Potato production and quality, one of the top barley and milk producers in the country, and the best place to call home. Both Bruce and Kevin are Idaho born and raised.

One of the many benefits was observed this summer which was to decrease heat stress due to anti-stress factors in Penatron. Penatron treated fields not only had outstanding yields, but the quality was much superior to nontreated fields. This was very evident in the Magic Valley of Idaho. In two fields growers were paid for over 610 cwt per acre of high quality potatoes. Average measured yield increase has been 47 cwt per acre with an increase of 11.6% more number ones. Penatron is manufactured by Maz-Zee S.A. International of San Diego, CA. It consists of 30 interacting components that work together to increase crop yield and quality. While many “soil conditioners” only act as a wetting agent, Penatron components include enzymes and catalysts to stimulate soil microbial metabolism. Natural desert plant extract wetting agents reduce water surface tention to insure faster water infiltration and easier water uptake by roots. Cytokinins (growth hormones) stimulate and accelerate root growth for better water and nutrient uptake. Colloidal minerals and micronutrients provide essential plant nutrients. Several extracts of plant species provide vitamins and hormones that reduce plant stress to hot, dry and cold, wet conditions. Humic and fulvic acids activate soil microbes and improve soil physical conditions. This helps reduce clods and dirt at harvest. Penatron modifies soil conditions by allowing more oxygen into the root zone which encourages aerobic microbes that improve soil structure. This results in better root growth. Penatron helps reduce irrigation water demand resulting in 10-15% less water use. It reduces run-off and increases the water holding capacity for all soil types. Penatron is beneficial to all crops including grain, sugarbeets, hay, corn, and beans. It reduces crusting, speeds germination and stand establishment resulting in a faster start for all crops to help maximize yield. Penatron is low cost considering it only needs to be applied once early in the season while many products must be applied several times. It may be applied with starter fertilizers, markout, herbicides, irrigation water, liquid fertilizers, plant protection, and foliar sprays. The bottom line is that Penatron Soil Conditioner increases yield and quality of all crops by reducing water and nutrient stresses, reducing clods and dirt, conserving water, and increasing root growth from improved soil structure. Penatron is available from your fertilizer supplier or contact Adrian L. Arp, PhD., Technical Representative at (208) 734-2255 or call our home office at 1-800-775-6123.

This rise in resistance is becoming a broad issue as widely-used fungicides become increasingly ineffective in controlling destructive potato diseases. The significance of this issue caught the attention of potato researchers across the country. Researchers investigated the molecular basis for this growing resistance issue and identified five distinct mutations generating early blight resistance. This research identified moderate and high levels of early blight resistance to penthiopyrad and fluxapyroxad chemistries. While other chemistries have growing resistance challenges to early blight mutations, studies indicated that fluopyram in Bayer CropScience’s Luna® Tranquility was not affected by any of these five mutations. In testing, Luna Tranquility provided control of early blight isolates, offering a solution to resistance management issues. • Dr. Jeff Miller, Miller Research, has seen excellent efficacy results for Luna chemistries in his research on early blight and white mold for potatoes. Along with its reliable performance in efficacy trials, researchers are hopeful for the impact of Luna Tranquility on the future of resistance issues. Luna Tranquility utilizes two active ingredients, which reduces the chance of resistance issues and provides an effective option for resistance management.

For additional product information call toll-free 1-866-99-BAYER (1-866-992-2937) or visit our Web site at www.BayerCropScience.us Highlights of early blight resistance research include: • Dr. Phillip Wharton, University of Idaho, tested fluopyram and pyrimethanil, the active ingredients found in Luna Tranquility, to find that both chemistries provided control of early blight isolates. • Dr. Neil Gudmestad, North Dakota State University, collected early blight isolates from across the country to determine that 80 percent of early blight instances have resistance to fungicides containing boscalid chemistry. Gudmestad also determined that fluopyram in Luna Tranquility was not affected by the five mutations generating early blight resistance BOOTH 73 - STUDENT UNION DO YOU NEED AG PRODUCTS AND SERVICES?

Land View Inc. began creating new agronomically sound acid based liquid fertilizers that would exceed the grower standard and set a new precedent for best management practices for fertilizer applied in Southern Idaho. That desire continues today as Land View Inc. strives “to do it better” than the industry standard. In 2008 Land View Inc. established an industry leading efficiency technology termed Carbond Technology for all soil types, and especially for problem type soils/situations. Specifically, Land View Inc. developed Carbond -P, a proprietary formulation incorporating a suite of refined organic substances infused with P through a sophisticated manufacturing process. Benefits from these components permit the grower to apply 30% to 50% less total P to achieve equal or greater yields than 10-34-0 or 11-52-0. TM Most recently, in 2015 Land View Inc. holding true to form found a way to do dry fertilizer better. Land View Inc. incorporated Carbond Technology used in its proprietary liquid products, as well as added micronutrients into a dry fertilizer coating called “Granular Efficiency Technology”. Benefits from the coating have followed similar trends from Land View Inc.’s liquid Carbond products by permitting the grower to apply at least 20% less total N, P, K, and S to achieve equal or greater yields than dry fertilizer alone. The yield and quality results to crops through a host of field trials conducted in 2015 have been outstanding!

Sterling T manufactures the 8800 OnePass, soil packers, soil conditioners, and plow packers. These products are designed to help today’s farming operations conserve soil, soil moisture and reduce tillage passes throughout the season. Sterling products are manufactured with high quality materials and engineered to provide years of use. Sterling is specialized in the soil conditioning business; therefore, our focus surrounds the concept of achieving the perfect seedbed. The process of creating a perfect seedbed begins as soon as the previous crop is harvested. We believe that every tillage pass through the field impacts the seeding process. Crop yields are affected by many different factors, some of these factors are uncontrollable, however, some are within a farmer’s responsibility to control. Seed placement is one of the most important factors that impacts yields. Sterling products firm the seedbed without causing compaction, allowing planting equipment to place the seed at a precise depth while leaving some loose soil on top to cover the seed. Controlling moisture loss is another important factor. If the soil is left fluff y following tillage operations it will dry out to the depth of the tillage pass. Sterling products firm the soil directly behind tillage tools to reduce soil moisture loss. Reducing passes required to make the optimum seedbed has become one of the most important factors impacting farm productivity with rising fuel costs. Sterling has answered with the 8800 OnePass. With a OnePass, multiple tillage passes can by eliminated by doing more tasks in one pass. The OnePass was designed with today’s streamlined farming operation in mind.

The Culti-Diker creates small, precise water retaining pockets that are large enough to catch moderate amounts of water, yet small enough not to interfere with future field operations. The Culti-Diker can be mounted onto grain drills, cultivators, planters, and various tool bars to form water retaining pockets with every pass. The Culti-Diker incorporates ¾” triple seal bearings and high-wear T-1 steel paddles, plus Super Oilite bushings at the hinge points. Furthermore, the same unit can be switched from one piece of equipment to another, making your capital investment more cost effective In 2006, Ag-Vantage improved on the Culti-Diker and came out with the next generation of water conservation tool, the Culti-Diker MAX. The Culti-Diker MAX is an excellent choice for your final water conservation needs in potatoes, sugar beets, corn and other row crops. They form 6 to 12 inch deep water retaining pockets that can hold up to 3 gallons of water. Plus the Culti-Diker MAX utilizes a free floating design that incorporates dual down pressure springs with up to 350 pounds of down pressure. This design ensures constant ground contact to guarantee consistent pocket depth verses paddle wheels on a common shaft. The Culti-Diker MAX incorporates standard 1 ¼” triple seal bearings and 3/8” T-1 paddles to provide years of service. The Culti-Diker MAX can be mounted to your current 4 x 4 tool bar or can be mounted to any of our custom tool bars. All of our tool bars incorporate a 7 x 7 main bar and a through bar frame design to provide superior strength and rigidity. We offer various models ranging from 4 to 24 rows with multiple folding and shank options available. In 2007, Ag-Vantage added a pivot track filler to their product line. The Trac Filler is a simple but effective tool to eliminate pivot tracks before harvest. The Trac Filler cuts down on maintenance by reducing fatigue on field equipment and stress on pivots. The Trac Filler features heavy-duty greaseable hubs with 22” discs and long wearing replaceable grader blades. Plus it utilizes a center stabilizer that keeps the Trac Filler centered on the pivot track and controls its cutting depth. Ag-Vantage now offers a new innovation in pivot track fillers with the Trac Filler MAX. It is revolutionary in design because it allows you to pull soil into areas that need it. The Trac Filler MAX can fill wheel tracks like traditional track fillers, but with its rear door it also allows you to move extra soil to deeper wheel tracks, or knock down mounds of soil. The Trac Filler MAX design is a ground-breaking first for pivot track fillers. Besides our featured products, Ag-Vantage offers a complete line of custom farm equipment including Custom Tool Bars, Mark Out Tool Bars, Roller Harrows, and many other attachments. We can help design and build what ever you need to suit your progressive farming needs.

(IVI). An Industrial Touchscreen PC with Solid State Hard Drive and a 10-inch Color Visual LCD screen is the first feature you notice, but it is tied together with optically isolated, rugged Web-enabled Input and Output modules where storage management options are maximized. The Control Panel has been expanded to include Thermadoor positioning, digital static pressure readout and control, additional temperature, humidity, CO2, and cavity/ heater control, expanded user hierarchy of login access (including add-on camera), and service screens capable of meeting GAP-acceptable data logging regimes. At the high end, IMPERIUM offers custom tailoring of your storage season through user-defined “recipes” while providing a continuous three-day weather forecast. Simple upgrades to your Centurion Panels offer a pathway to fully communicate with IMPERIUM Control Panels, eliminating the need for panel change-outs. Three option modules allow you to choose between a “simplified” Centurion capability, a “duplicate” Centurion capability and a fully enhanced IMPERIUM capability. The IMPERIUM Control Panel will be displayed at upcoming potato conferences and shows. Shown above: sample Potato Status screen shot from the new IMPERIUM. “Our IMPERIUM storage control is the result of our extensive solutions in providing the most advanced technology for crop protection.

Some Say Gentle. We Say Yes Most of the leaders in the potato producing and shipping industry have one thing in common; they trust Trinity Trailer Mfg. and it’s specifically designed “Farm Bed Spud Trailer” to deliver their produce with minimal amounts of skinning, bruising, or shattering. Unnecessary bruising results in lower potato prices reduced demand and increased storage losses. The Farm Bed Spud trailer can be built to best match your specific loading and unloading conditions. Our unique “Spud door” consists of a flip up bottom half and a fold down upper. This fold down upper enables apiler to extend into the interior of the trailer cutting down on drop height. The upper section is available in plywood, sheet metal, or expanded metal. The Eisenman family and associates at Trinity Trailer have been building self unloading belt trailers since 1975 and understand that the only acceptable spud trailer is one that gently handles your product but is built tough enough to take the punishment of field work and rough rural roads. Smooth, surge free, unloading is a critical aspect in avoiding bruising. The Trinity continuous yet flexible chain and flap belt provides a consistent unload and helps keep produce out of rear unloading mechanisms. Narrow belts, 25” or 31”, are the most commonly requested to DO YOU NEED AG PRODUCTS AND SERVICES? VISIT THE QUARNBERG COMPANY WEBSITE AT: www.northwestproducers.com 2016 EASTERN IDAHO AG EXPO AND IDAHO POTATO CONFERENCE • POCATELLO, IDAHO achieve an even flow while unloading. “Spud bumps” are suggested with wider belts and are effective controlling unwanted surging. In very sensitive conditions a raised floor, heavier and longer flaps, and overlap liners are installed. These options serve to level the floor reducing cupping between the cross bars, cushioning the load, and eliminating carry back. In cold weather conditions potatoes are protected by Trinity’s “extreme weather insulation package”. This protection consists of double layers of bubble foil pack under the side liners, single layer of foil pack under the floor liner and foam insulation inside from the top of the liner to the top rail. A very successful hauler in Canada uses this package as well as an insulated blanket over the tarp bows and routinely hauls in minus 10-15 degree temperatures. While it may sound like all our engineering goes into assuring we have the gentlest handling trailer we know there is another side to hauling potatoes. Trinity also protects your investment by building the toughest, longest lasting trailer. Our unique lightweight steel (carbon or stainless) frameless design provides the strength and flexibility required to go off road and withstand the most pitted potato fields without cracking or breaking. Repairing spud trailers or suffering downtime is the last thing you can afford. Our customers know that when they send out a Trinity trailer it will not only gently unload their spuds but it will return for another load. Trinity trailers are the most dependable trouble free spuds trailers available. Trinity trailers are the easiest trailers to wash because our unique design allows you access to all areas and does not give dirt or road sludge a place to hide. Trinity trailers require very little maintenance and when a repair is required it’s quick and inexpensive. 65 Our customers are demanding but again Trinity Trailer Mfg. delivers. Whether it’s a five year old, seven year old, or a ten year old plus, Trinity consistently brings owners more resale dollars. But look beyond the high resale price. Ask another trailer manufacturer to show you one of their seven to ten year old trailers. Not many other trailers besides Trinity will have been able to withstand the rugged conditions of the potato industry and actually still be on the road let alone be a factor in the resale market. You are a serious businessman who knows what it takes to be profitable hauling spuds. Trinity Trailer is a serious manufacturer that offers you a spud trailer that has: The lowest incidence of bruising, skinning, and shattering. The lowest maintenance costs and highest availability. The longest life and highest resale value. Why would you trust your business with any other trailer?
