Illinois Gleaner has the perfect response to put on the orange.  IF THE ORANGE IS GONE, THEN SO AM I !   Ive even been thinking about putting it on a t-shirt. ( Hope IG doesn't want royalties ) lol.

I hope owners of all colors understand the merit in showing concern.  We need competion it breeds inovation and keeps people and companies honest.  As for defending it, they havent done a great job of selling it so far it seems the dealers are left to explain it if they can.

The message draws merrit. How much attention would that bring to the AGCO display, good or bad, at the Lou. show . I can see guys in JD hats leaving an orange or two. I know some who would do it. Do you think the execs. would hide or defend thier decission? Nick

Don’t givem the Finger givem the Orange.  At all of the farm shows starting with Louisville, take an Orange to the AGCO display.  Give it to an executive if one is there or take it to the main information desk.  Even if you haven’t nor ever intend to own a piece of AGCO equipment we need competition.  You can make a difference let’s not let 100+ years of American heritage go away silently.  If confrontation isn’t your thing it’s a perfect silent protest or an icebreaker if you have something to say.  I'd even go as far as to put messages on your orange or use it as a paper weight to hold down your letter if you desire.  To keep this thread bumped to the top so all will see it post suggestions for messages on the oranges. Swamp Louisville booth with oranges.  Also the most impact you can have is sending the board of director’s letters after all they are the ones with power over the president.  There is address for 3 board members in a post titled AGCO’s orange color decision on the gleaner page.  Make sure the board has plenty of letters to talk about at the next several board meetings.  Please remember AGCO employees didn’t make this decision treat them with respect and our message will be heard treat them poorly and it will go in the trash.

May A-C never rest in peace! And GLEANER never see her fate!
