Ag Machinery Digest Interview Questions

Thanks for taking the time to participate in this interview. I intend to produce an anthology of stories from tractor and machinery men and women across Australia. At the same time I will regenerate the AgList website and accommodate your story there too.

Please feel free to expand or contract the elements of your answers to tell your story. I appreciate the effort it will take to answer but believe that unless we begin to record the important human side of our industry this history will be lost. I am trying to address this.

Each question is set in a table, start typing under the question, remembering to save the document before returning via e-mail to: probertconsulting@bigpond.com

Thanks again,

Terry L Probert
