Joel and Jan Lawrence, owners of Rocky Top Farms in Salem, Alabama, explain why they've stuck with SunSouth and John Deere tractors for their operation. They value the customer service and long-term relationship they've built with the company.
When it comes to getting the work done and farming, only one color for me, that's yellow and green John Deere. Hello, my name is Joel Lawrence. This is my wife Jan. We're the.
Owners of Rocky Top Farms here in Salem, Alabama.
A little history about the farm. Her father started this thing about 50 years ago. He's since passed away and we're doing.
A lot of new things here now.
With a event barn and doing a.
Little farming, raising a few cattle, bailing a little hay.
I've been a customer of SunSouth for 15, 20 years. I work for a construction company and we have done business with them in.
The past and still do. When we started the farming operation here, there was my only one choice where I wanted to go and that was the sun. Own some John Deere tractors.
And I'll add to that. When my dad had the farm, he had old Ford tractors that he has had forever. But when it came time to needing to get a new one, the only choice we had that we wanted was a John Deere tractor. And I wanted my husband to have a brand new John Deere tractor because we've never had a new tractor of any kind around here. So when he said, can I? I said, absolutely.
The reason I keep going back to sun south is their SAL team has been extremely good to us. When it came time to buy a bigger tractor because of some of the bigger equipment I'm running, I had a little lack of horsepower in one, so.
I ordered a new one bigger.
The sales team, whether I'm supposed to say it or not, loaned me a tractor while that one was held up so that I could continue farming and.
Keeping the property up.
And I can never thank them enough for that. I love the parts and service guys.
They've all been extremely good to us.
I try to do most of the work on things myself. I haven't had a big enough problem to have to take it in and have it done or have somebody come out. But when I go in, I really can't figure out what I need or what I need to do.
The guys in the back will speak.
With you, talk with you, give you advice, and I really appreciate that and it's helped me get things up and.
