In its ongoing commitment to meeting the needs of farmers in the Red River Valley, Spreader Specialties is proud to participate in the 52nd International Sugarbeet Institute in Grand Forks, North Dakota.

Held at the Alerus Center, the International Sugarbeet Institute brings together sugarbeet growers from the Northern Plains region and their counterparts just across the Canadian border in Manitoba.  This year’s event will take place March12-13.

Show organizers expect nearly 4,000 in attendance, with nearly 125 companies showcasing equipment tailored for the sugarbeet market.  Spreader Specialties, an exclusive dealer of BBI Spreaders, is proud to showcase the Endurance beet lime spreader, custom-developed for the Northern Plains market in collaboration between the dealership and BBI.

The Endurance beet lime spreader turn’s yesterday’s waste into tomorrow’s yield, allowing one crop’s by-products to become cost-efficient fertilizer for another.  Part of BBI’s flagship line of spreaders for a host of organic materials, the Endurance beet lime spreader is available in truck-mount or pull-type models, with mechanical, hydraulic, and plug-to-tractor options on-hand as well.  Other options for the Endurance Beet Lime Spreader include multiple flotation tire applications for minimizing soil compaction, including TerraGator compatibility.

The Endurance beet lime spreader arrives standard-equipped with BBI’s proprietary Binary Manifold, which makes connection to all leading precision agriculture technology systems a simple snap.  In addition, the company offers its own precision agriculture suite, the Task Command System from BBI Electronics, as a standard offering on the Endurance beet lime edition.

Spreader Specialties is offering a special promotional offer for the International Sugarbeet Institute. With the purchase of any Endurance beet lime spreader, Spreader Specialties will offer a free flotation tire upgrade.

“We’re looking forward to participating in this year’s International Sugarbeet Institute,” stated Mike Olson, owner of Spreader Specialties. “We’re also honored to present the Endurance beet lime spreader to the farmers of the Red River Valley—we took their needs and requirements straight to the manufacturer, and BBI has responded with a piece of equipment that’s unmatched in its power and precision.”

It's a big day at Spreader Specialties, as we are proud to announced the launch of a number of initiatives geared at educating and serving our customers. 

In addition to introducing our new brand, we are releasing the new www.SpreaderSpecialties.com site, along with multiple new channels in social media to interact with our customers, friends, and the extended Spreader Specialties family in the Northern Plains. 

The new site features up-to-date information on our inventory of BBI Spreaders, and we've built the site to educate our customers, both new and current, on BBI's multiple offerings designed for specific applications of granular fertilizer, lime, organics, and road toppings in agriculture, golf, infrastructure, and athletic and turf environments. 

In addition to inventory information, you'll see how to contact us for fast parts and service solutions during the life of your spreader, as well as something we're particularly proud of our community page. It's here that we will provide up-to-date information ranging from product education to announcements of Spreader Specialties events in your area, including product demonstrations and regional trade shows in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, and South Dakota.

Everyone knows that people in the Northern Plains use social media to stay in touch with people and the companies in their lives and businesses, so we've launched a new Facebook page and Twitter account, @spreaderspecs. Don't be surprised to find us live-tweeting from our next round of trade shows! 

We look forward to sharing information with you in the coming years with this new set of media designed for you, our customers, to get what they need when they need it.  And we also look forward to engaging with you even more, as you tell us your stories on Facebook, or through our coming e-newsletters.
