The photo above is a look at the inside of the "Remote Control Box" on a new M-C Tower Dryer that we are currently installing at the farm of Greg Cassell located near Parker City Indiana. Thats right, we said Remote Control! Imagine, its a cold wet and nasty morning when you wake up, roll over and look out the window just in time to see the poor guy down the road with the Farm Fans making his way out to his dryer to fire the old inefficient thing up the old fashioned way. Out in the cold! But not you! You came in out of the cold a long time ago with your new and very efficient M-C Tower Dryer with the Mathews Companies exsclusive remote control! Your sitting at your breakfast table watching the poor neighbor freezing his eggs off, meanwhile your having your morning eggs while your starting your entire grain drying system up right from the comfort of your breakfast table! Now how's that for advanced farming of the future! Advanced farming is here now with a full line of M-C Remote Control tower and conventional style grain dryers! Come in out of the cold with a reliable & efficient M-C grain dryer and leave those cold and miserable morning walks to you neighbor! Call WFS and ask Stanley or Duane all about the new line of farm and commercial M-C tower dryers! It looks like this just might be the year to go remote! Call us today at: 765-886-5920 and we'll send you a information packet with all sorts of information about our many products and services!
The photo above shows yet another of the great features of a M-C grain dryer. Inside the remote control box is a printer that is a pretty handy thing to have on a grain dryer. Especially if you start your dryer in the morning and walk off leaving it alone to do its thing all day without you! The M-C printer prints out all of the important information you need to know about whats been going on while you were away! It can be set to print out anywhere from one minute intervals to 60 minute intervals too. It tells you the time of day, ambient temperature, grain column temperature, heating chamber temperature, grain temperature, the bin number your grain is being discharged to, and of course the moisture of the grain entering the dryer, as well as the moisture of the grain being discharged. Nobody should be without a printer on your grain dryer! It gives you 100% piece of mind knowing exactly what your dryer has been doing all day while you were in the combine! And if you don't think your ready for a new M-C conventional or tower dryer complete with a printer, we can adapt a monitoring system and printer on your current grain dryer! And we can also install a SCR D.C drive moisture control unit that will control your old dryer and give you a much more consistant grain moisture! We can even adapt one to your bin drying system! Its awful nice to know exactly what is in that bin! Knowing the exact moisture of the grain in that bin might just make the difference between keeping a bin full of good quality grain, or a bin full of overheated or wet disaster! Give us a call today for more information on this or any of our huge line of quality grain handling accessories. That number again is: 765-886-5920
FAMILY LOSS
Our family is currently dealing with the terrible loss of a family member. On Wednesday January 31, 2007 Mike Becraft passed away suddenly. Mike was married to Janet who is Stanley & Jan's oldest daughter. Mike was a wonderful person. He never made an enemy in his life. He was one of those people whom everyone liked. He was a very kind and giving person who will be missed a great deal. Mike lived every day as if it were the last. He enjoyed life as much as anyone in this world. He never wanted for anything, he just did it! He enjoyed hunting very much, as well as several other activities. Mike scuba dived, sky dived, bungi jumped, motorcycle riding, fishing, boating and many other activities. As I said, Mike enjoyed life! He leaves behind his wife Janet Becraft and his daughter Caitlin. Also his father, one brother and a sister. We're all going to miss Mike very much. When someone that nice, that giving, that wonderful, and that liked passes away it leaves a big void in everyones life whom he has touched. And Mike touched many people. We'll all miss Mike very much.
WINTERIZE YOUR DRYER
How many times have you went to start your dryer after a long idle spell only to find that it won't function properly? Well one sure way you know your dryer will go next year when you need it is to let us winterze your dryer now! Sitting idle through the winter months takes more life out of your grain dryer than using it ever would. During idle times moving parts tend to seize, gas lines can become full of tar dirt and other material, and any number of bad as well as expensive things can happen to the electronic equipment on your dryer. Through the years we've learned a few things that helps your dryer make it through this idle time without damage to moving parts or all of the delicate electrical parts in your grain dryer. Winterizing your dryer today is cheap piece of mind that your dryer will be ready to go when you need it!

YOU DIDN'T HEAR IT HERE!
WFS just completed a restoration on a very nice Farmall 400 for a well known agri magazine give away. While we can not say what publication is giving the tractor away, we can tell you that when the contest or drawing starts you will want in on it! This is one good looking old tractor! And it has been overhauled from the ground up. No corners were cut in the rebuild and restoration of this tractor. We didn't want to let it go! We probably shouldn't even be telling everyone this but what the heck! It was a total under cover restoration. And when we were done they came in the middle of the night with a enclosed trailer and without a word loaded it up and drove off into the darkness. We aren't allowed to say when the drawing begins, and to be honest we don't know for sure. But when it does check back for a few pictures that we just happen to have! Check back often for photo's of a pretty tractor. But don't bother asking us about it because we will be forced to play dumb!
