Patz Equipment Success Story
De-Best Dairy Makes De-Best Investment!
Over twenty years ago, Steven Best began leasing a farm with the hopes of owning his own one day. He accomplished his goal in 1999 when he and his wife Amy established their own farm, De-Best Dairy in DeRuyter, NY. Here, the Bests earn their living by milking 100 registered Holsteins.
Steven worked on a dairy farm during high school that had Patz equipment and through that experience gained an appreciation for the high quality of Patz products.
"I had a lot of experience working with Patz equipment," stated Steven, adding that he preferred Patz over other brands of equipment he had used.
In 2003, Steven contacted his local Patz dealer, Center State Ag Service, Inc. in Morrisville, NY, to replace one of the silo unloaders that had been in operation on his farm at the time he bought it. He replaced the old unloader with a Patz Model 98C Silo Unloader. Recently, he invested in two more pieces of Patz equipment to meet his feed handling needs - a Model 98C Surface Drive Silo Unloader and a Model 8916 Belt Feeder.
"I save time and labor with the Patz equipment," said Steven. "It's more efficient and I get quality unloading" from the Patz Model 98C Silo Unloaders.
In fact, he is interested in future Patz purchases due to the benefits that he has experienced with his current products. He remarked that his Patz Dealer and Territory Representative have been very responsive to his needs. He is also attracted to Patz because the equipment is made in the USA, making servicing and purchasing replacement parts more convenient.
