High Notes, Dry Oats, and Sly Jokes | Interview with Roy Ritchie | Flaman Grain Systems

In this episode, Trevor, Regan, and Mitch squander a perfect opportunity for a raging argument to agree on the best concert acts they’ve ever seen. Speaking of funny names like Papa Roach, Meatloaf, and The Trues, why is canola called canola? (It’s not just because it was time for the old name to go.) The guys get a grip on the slippery answer.

Next – There are good reasons why farmers who bring in grain dryers for emergencies keep them around full-time. Flaman Sales VP Shaun Gettis lists those reasons and goes over the factors you should consider before incorporating a grain dryer into your bin yard. Then – Does a desk screwed to the ceiling signify high office? How long will plastic wrap keep a co-worker fresh?

Special guest Roy Ritchie of Flaman Grain System reveals all in tales of office pranks he may or may not have had a hand in. He also recounts how honesty, being solution-minded, and building trust brings back customers and even some prospects who didn’t buy the first time. Up for some worthwhile life lessons? Roy has some great ones about being a hard-working farm kid, going through some wild times (and vehicles), then getting himself together to become one of Flaman’s most valuable employees.
