ents to experience this simple gesture of
gratitude. Senwes producers have the fol-
lowing to say about their headland braais:
JAN HARMSE
Rechtvaardig between Bultfontein
and Welkom
“Good day Francois. I would like to thank
you for the letter that you sent to us. It
meant a lot to me and my son - we farm
together - in the current circumstances.
Thank you to Senwes, who supports us
and who is part of our business. It is good
to know that you are willing to walk the
extra mile with us. It is not easy to stay
positive in agriculture at present. Thank
you once again for promoting agricul-
ture to the broader public. It is a strik-
ing advertisement of the two boys who
became involved in the train accident and
the man building wire cars. Keep up the
good work.”
THABO VAN ZYL
Thuso Graan in the Wesselsbron area
“Thank you so much for your hospitality on
our headland! It was a huge gesture. Every
one of my workers would like to thank you
sincerely for the trouble you took in supply-
ing a lunch at work. Thank you! I am very
excited about the energy with which every
Senwester plays his role in the bigger
picture and very excited about the culture
which you are all establishing and writing
in Senwes. This is a great initiative which is
much appreciated.”

SENWES SCENARIO | SUMMER 2018
RIAAN ESTERHUIZEN
Essies Boerdery in Hartswater
“Thank you Robert, for today's visit.
Senwes is miles ahead of its competitors
as far as customer service is concerned.
In today's unfavourable agricultural
conditions such actions can only benefit
our producers and Senwes. You have
Vaalharts buzzing. We are looking for-
ward to the new retail branch. Thank
you!”
CHRIS SCHOONWINKEL
From the farm Welgegund between
Wesselsbron and Hoopstad
“Thank you for the gesture of braaiing on
our headland. My workers and I sincerely
appreciate it.”
