That’s a good deal. This person who did this should run for county commisioner.
Congratulations on your negotiating powers and new equipment. This looks like a great deal for our schools. Insure them and take care of them and they will last a long time. Ag teachers–remember to recycle old metal and use those proceeds to help fund your ag projects. Metal recyclers are paying premium prices now. So, encourage parents, instructors, school officials and students to recycle metals for the school, reduce metal items going into landfills, and help defray ag project costs. It’s a Win-Win situation. Keep up the good work!
