Hour 1: Deciding Which Kind of Computer Is Best For You

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

If there is one question that dominates our email and our listener call ins, it is “What kind of computer should I be buying?” When Gary and Foster started the program back in 1998, the answer tended to presume that you meant, “What kind of PC should I be buying?” and the usual group of name brands from Dell to HP were trotted out.

Helping America’s Farmers With Immediate, Unbiased Data

[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”12339″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]Jesse Vollmar graduated from Saginaw Valley University with two passions: continue the 5th generation of family farming and creating a set of tools that could help other farmers win the battle with the elements and the markets.
