Model 3333 Vertical Pump Success Story
Patz Pumps quickly transfer rich nutrients from storage to spreaders
David Van Erden stands by the proven performance of their Patz Model 3333 Vertical Pump at Greenwood Farm.
Dale Van Erden started farming in 1976 with eight cows on a rented farm. Thirty-two years later, Dale and his son David have 1800 dairy cows on three farms - Fabius Greenwood Farm LLC and Eastview Farms LLC, both in Fabius, NY, and Venture Farm in Apulia, NY. A third partner, Joel Riehlman, oversees the Venture Farm operation. Their Greenwood Farm currently milks 430 cows and will be expanding to 600. Eastview Farms has been recognized as a "Dairy of Distinction."
It is obvious that the Van Erdens are a hard working family and they expect no less from the equipment they purchase to keep their operations running smoothly. That is why they chose Patz Model 3333 Vertical Pumps to pump out the leachate storage pits at their Greenwood and Eastview farm locations. The leachate is pumped into tank spreaders and spread onto their fields 2-3 times per year. The silage leachate is rich in nutrients and saves the farm in fertilizer costs.
According to Dale, the Patz Model 3333 Vertical Pumps work very well and help them to observe environmentally friendly farm practices. They are very satisfied with their Patz pumps and with the service they receive from their local Patz Dealer Seneca Farm & Home Supply in Seneca Falls, NY.
