You get the fullhouse from Senwes.” He believes that that Senwes is very compe­ titive and that it understands the needs of the producer. “Senwes offeres a good package.” JOHN DEERE IS HIS CHOICE With seven John Deere tractors, one John Deere sprayer and a John Deere harvester he is obviously green. His intention is to expand on the current fleet. The choice is an easy one - John Deere is a world leader. Senwes is a huge John Deere agent and the availability of parts is never a problem. Technicians in Senwes vehicles also respond in record time. Herbert’s grandfather was a Ford dealer years ago and his business, Lategan Ford, was one of the best Ford sellers in the world. The business was sold when Grandfather Lategan died at the age of 96 in 2012. “When I arrived everything was blue - now it is green.” It is evident that changes are taking place at Esther and Twee Oewers Farming due to all the new projects being launched. No wonder, with the future focus which they have. Just like Esther in the Bible - she was chosen to lead a nation and this farm also provides guidance when it comes to farming matters.
