WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE
CAUSED BY THE
DEKALB XL-LINK
“Many of our XL-LINK customers have
been inconvenienced by the inadequate
production graph formats we've been
supplying them. Since the graph lines go
only to 90% production many of you are
having to extend the lines in order to
maintain accurate weekly records. For
some, like the H. Poultry Farm, that can be
a real chore when production remains
above 90% for over 13 weeks!
Please bear with us until we can supply
you with more accurate graphing charts.”
