A big thank you to Odessa Trading Company and Sam Whitman for bringing out a demo 8250 Case Combine for us to use this harvest! We appreciate all the support Odessa Trading Company gives us throughout the year! The new automation technology in this combine makes a cleaner sample with less grain loss for a more efficient harvest!
