PAR has expanded to serve farmers across the United States and create access, opportunity and support for farming operations looking for solutions to some of their most costly problems: fleet & implement management and maintenance. In growing regions like the Southeast in Georgia, Alabama and Florida, we’ve been able to support farms who are looking to accomplish more in less time without having to permanently expand their fleets or implement lineup which is costly and often unnecessary.

Are you leaving money on the table (or in your cattle's manure)? One of our Nebraskan dealers sent this photo to us, and it's a great way to illustrate what we mean when we say "undigested feed (dollars) that goes out the back end". Many folks don't realize how much undigested forage and underutilized minerals end up in the manure, instead of being put to good use by the cow. With our 19-component digestion pack, called Nutrizorb, Riomax helps you squeeze more out of your forages and feed so that you've got fewer leftovers in the manure. Not only that, but our 100% protected key trace mineral package, called Esqort, ensures that those key vitamins and minerals make it through the rumen and into the bloodstream instead of going to waste. At the end of the day, that means no more dollars left behind in the manure! Learn more about the science behind Riomax and what makes us different at https://hubs.ly/Q02CSsHK0

Ranch efficiency goes beyond the large pieces of equipment such as cattle chutes, alleys, and tubs. The kind of corral panels you’re using may be affecting productivity long before cattle reach the beginning of your handling system. Taking small steps to optimize efficiency on your operation with corral panels can make all the difference and improve workflow. This includes: ➡️ Avoiding corners in your system ➡️ Opting for square rails over rounded ones ➡️ Using the proper size to create the perfect system for your needs For more info on how cattle corral panels can increase efficiency on your ranch, check out this article: https://lnkd.in/g4MNT5GQ #ranching #livestockmanagement #agriculture #ranchefficiency #corralpanels

FRAC condemns SNAP Cuts and Privatization in Chair Thompson's Farm Bill. Farm Bill text released today by House Agriculture Committee Chair G.T. Thompson (R-PA) poses a serious threat to the health and wellbeing of the more than 41.4 million people who rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to put food on the table. Historically, Farm Bills have been bipartisan endeavors that prioritized improving the lives of millions of households who struggle to get the nutrition they need. We urge Congress to return to this core principle and only advance a bold and equitable Farm Bill that protects and strengthens SNAP.  Read FRAC's statement condemning the text. https://lnkd.in/eYSTWkCq #SNAPMatters

Innovative Kale Processing Line by Turatti North America – Ratto Bros., Inc., a renowned agricultural facility in Modesto, CA, recently garnered attention on CBS News GoodDay Sacramento for its state-of-the-art kale processing line. This innovative system, custom-designed by Turatti North America Inc. to enhance efficiency and ensure food safety, has redefined industry benchmarks. The process begins with kale being dropped onto a multi-belt conveyor system, where it is meticulously sorted. Non-ideal products are removed before the kale moves through a slicer and into the Venezia model washer. Here, fine particulates and debris are filtered out, preparing the kale for a thorough cleaning. Next, the kale is fully submerged in the Camel model washing system. This advanced system ensures the product is decontaminated and fully cleaned while being chilled through custom heat exchangers integrated into both wash systems. Following the washing stage, the kale is conveyed to a fully automated weigh system before being fed into dual Vortex model dryers. After a precise spin in Turatti's iconic centrifuge, the kale is delivered to a vibratory shaker. This evens out the product before it lands on bi-directional scale feeding inclines, ultimately being placed into bags and packaged for consumers. This cutting-edge processing line manufactured and installed by Turatti North America Inc. not only streamlines operations at Ratto Bros., Inc. but also guarantees that consumers receive the highest quality, safely processed kale. The feature on CBS News GoodDay Sacramento highlights both company's commitment to innovation and excellence in food safety. #EngineeringExcellence #CustomizedInnovation #Kale #ProduceProcessing #BehindTheScenes #CustomerSatisfaction #FoodIndustry #FoodProcessor #Produce #Manufacturer #FoodSafety #NaturalInnovation #Turatti #TurattiNorthAmerica #Salinas #TurattiGroup #Italy #RattoBros #Modesto
