Earlier this year we bought a John Deere 8410 tractor from a dealer and discovered it had warrantied rear tires on it.  They started failing once we removed the duals to start side dressing corn.  The dealer would not do anything about it so we decided to contact Titan directly.  We realized it wasn't their fault but figured it wouldn't hurt.

After receiving an email and phone call from the President / CEO directly we were introduced to one of their field engineers.  Never have I had a company respond to a situation as well as Titan did.  Needless to say they took care of us and want to make sure the Goodyear / Titan brand is regarded highly in the agriculture market.  I know all of our tires from this point on will be Goodyear & Titan.

2012 was definitely an interesting year for us as we actually finished combining our corn before the beans!  The year started off great as planting conditions were favorable for getting the crop planted.  However, the favorable conditions quickly turned into a dry spell and then a drought.  Emergence was very good and that ended up hurting us a little bit given the lack of rain and the abundance of plants per acre.  We normally try to push our population levels as it has worked well for us in the past.  The drought continues even now after harvest and it really started back in July of 2011.  Some are saying it could last into the summer of next year?  We elected to go with Enterprise crop insurance and used the extra premium savings to bump up our coverages.  So far it seems to have been a good decision and will be looking to do the same next year given the high chances of the drought stretching into next year.
