Maple Grove Enterprises just returned from the NY Farm Show held in Syracuse last weekend. Our thanks to Scott Grigor and the rest of the Farm Show crew. They did a fantastic job of organizing and promoting the show, and they kept all the exhibitors happy with the endless hot coffee and fresh doughnuts!
We met farmers from all over New York State, as well as others from New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, and Pennsylvania. In today’s tough economic climate, they remain as resilient as ever. In fact, according to the USDA Census of Agriculture, the number of farms in the U.S. has actually increased in the last five years.
While Maple Grove Enterprises offers a wide array of services, the visitors to our booth were most interested in farm bins, custom conveyors, floor repair and coating, and millwright services. Also, because farms will have to be in compliance by August 2009 with the USEPA Pesticide Container and Containment Rule requiring secondary containment around pesticide tanks, information about our secondary containment services was in demand.
Our unique custom booth, designed by owner Ted Hobin, Jr., and Aaron “Reggie” Mayer and fabricated in our shop, was also quite a hit!
