Senwes Scenario visited that part of South Africa. We visited the Senwes Equipment branches in Aliwal North and Ugie, where we talked to the branch manager of the two branches, Nelis van Heerden. The Aliwal North branch will be cele- brating its first birthday in August this year. In the Spotlight focuses on pro- ducer Karel Bezuidenhout, a huge Senwes Equipment and John Deere supporter. We also feature an interesting article on precision farming. Don't miss our next edition of Scenario, in which we will focus on a few key staff members at the branches. With another branch opening soon in East London, the Eastern Cape is definitely the place to be. http://fwd2.co/ScenarioApple 49 On target 52 Future focus 57 Food for thought 59 Garden tips COMPETITIONS http://fwd2.co/ScenarioGoogle 60 Win a copy of Hoop wat kaalvoet loop WOMEN 60 Milanie Vosloo 50 Dumping – A worldwide problem affecting SA Make sure you receive the eScenario newsletter bi-monthly for relevant company and industry news.
