 Pöttinger Newsletter Issue 39, 29th March 2010

Spring is here at last and we can get started on the new season. In this issue we present the sleek, lightweight disc mowers for the ideal first cut, plus some maintenance tips for the PTO shafts on your machinery. We have brought out a new brochure on our compact disc harrows, updated the VITASEM pages online and report on Pöttinger Days in Canada. And then there is an award that we are proud to present: Pöttinger won the "Best Innovator 2009" title. We haven't forgotten about the Easter holidays either - in fact they have inspired us to create a little Easter surprise. With these and many more articles, we hope you enjoy reading this issue. We wish you a happy Easter!

Best regards,
Inge Steibl / Gerhard Schmidmair

The winners of the Pöttinger Memory and Clever Farming games of the current month
  

In January we started from the beginning again: all high scores have been deleted so that even players successful in recent months have another shot at winning some great prizes from the Pöttinger merchandise selection. Don't miss out - taking part is really worth it! We congratulate the winners of February. New game - new chance! The high score is reset so you have an even greater chance of winning. We start again every month. Have a go now and win one of the prizes for next month!

Question of the month: How do you rate the image of farmers?
  

Various surveys have indicated that farmers see themselves as protectors of the climate, soil and landscape. For the rest of the population, however, they are primarily regarded as food producers. People in agriculture are known for their tradition, hard work and love of the countryside. How do you rate the image of farmers?
