From the Desk of Rodney, CEO

Growing Up With McCormick

I recently received a picture from one of our good dealers, Robert and Rachel Mais of Fritz Implement in Monett, Missouri, of their three year old grandson, Addison on his toy McCormick XTX tractor. It seems Addison already has a love for tractors; McCormick tractors. According to his Grandma, McCormick tractors have been part of Addison's life every since he was a baby.

Robert and Rachel attended the 2004 Dealer Awards Program in Doncaster, England and bought a McCormick story book for little Addison. It is through this book that he has known about McCormick since he was a baby. And to show you how much he really knows about tractors, his daddy, Rodney recently asked Addison if a passing motorcycle on the highway was like the one his Papa rides. Addison replied his Papa drives a tractor.

Dave Stotts, Fritz Implement, Parts Manager attended our 1^st annual Parts Fair in December 2008 and won the XTX toy tractor. Dave gave the tractor to Addison who has been riding it every since. But, Addison was no stranger to tractors. He loves to visit the dealership and ride with his Papa on the big McCormick tractors. You've got to love little Addison. He's kid after my own heart that I hope to meet some day.

Thanks, Robert and Rachel for the picture and congratulations on Fritz's upcoming 30^th anniversary. I truly hope the planned banquet is a success. Thanks for partnering with McCormick. We appreciate all that you do.
