Spreader Specialties Goes on the Road to the Iowa Power Farming Show

Mike Olson and Spreader Specialties will take the BBI Spreaders experience on the road in late January, joining forces with BBI’s Denny McCauley at the Iowa Power Farming Show in Des Moines, Iowa. 

The Iowa Power Farming Show, held annually at the Iowa Events Center, will take place January 29-31.  The show currently rates as the third-largest indoor show in the country, with promoters expecting nearly 20,000 attendees at the seven-acre complex.  Spreader Specialties, an exclusive dealer of BBI spreaders based in Austin, Minnesota, will join over 750 exhibiting companies with over 1800 booths at the event.

This year’s Iowa Power Farming Show will feature a broad range of farming equipment and precision agriculture electronics, with over $50 million in equipment on display. In addition to the vendor exhibits featuring equipment and technology for precision farming applications, the show will also provide abundant educational opportunities for Midwestern farmers on topics ranging from profitability to yield improvement and business planning for family farms.

For the 2013 event, BBI’s McCauley, territory sales manager for the Midwest, and Olson, President of Spreader Specialties, will be showing MagnaSpread, BBI’s flagship line of hydraulic granular fertilizer and lime spreaders optimized for precision agriculture. MagnaSpread is available in single-axle, tandem-axle, pull-type, and truck-mount options. All MagnaSpread models feature BBI’s exclusive Binary Manifold, a variable rate-ready hydraulic manifold that makes connecting to precision agriculture controls a snap.

"Spreader Specialties is proud to present BBI’s products at the Iowa Power Farming Show,” stated Olson.  “We’re honored that Denny will be in our booth, helping us to educate the country’s most sophisticated farmers on the benefits of working through our dealership to bring the best spreaders to their fields. Denny is based in Des Moines, and I was born and raised in Iowa myself, so this show is very special to us. We have the privilege of interacting with customers who help us improve our offerings year after year.”
