That will be a good change for sure!! I used to work at John Deere before too, and my twin brother works there right now still.
Marlon - did you take your training at SIAST in Saskatoon? My brother and I did too and maybe we went around the same time?????

Great to hear that Marlon. I worked for South Country for about 5 1/2 years and they were good to me. I am looking at taking another position there again sometime later this fall.

I`m sure you`ll be missed at New Holland.
Is a raise involved or you just decided to change jobs/employers?

I little bit of a raise, but money wasn't the biggest issue. I have always been a John Deere fan and enjoy working on the green equipment.
