Farmer Bob and Farmer Ray
bought confinement equipment
the very same day!
Farmer Ray thought he hed a fantastic bargain toon he
discovered that a bargain product can be far more costly
m the long run as everything soon rusted and corroded*
Fencing Nursery Pens Farrowing Crates and Gestation
Stalls all now need to be replaced at today s higher costs
Farmer Bob chose Rohn ' Hot Dip Galvanized Agrl
Products and his equipment is still as good as new. The
reason 7 Zinc is the finish that withstands corrosive ele
menls longer and provides years ol carefree reliable service
There a no doubt about It,
Rohn Agri Froduete are yeur very Best Buy I
