- My name is Jeffrey Morton,
Operations Manager,
Freestate Farms,
and we produce compost
and renewable energy.
Primarily we're composting yard waste
which consists of grass,
leaves and 2.5% food waste.
Process that we do is bring it to a
sustainable product, screen it out,
cool it off, and chip.
This is my fourth 626
that I've worked with,
and there is no other machine
in that price range that
operates as well and
produces what we produce.
It's impacted everything
with our business.
Production rate is extremely high.
That's everything to me.
You're looking at about 65 yards an hour.
What it puts out and
produces for the company,
nothing else touches it.
This is our most recent purchase screened,
but it won't be our last.
We're already looking into another 626.
Vermeer Mid Atlantic, in Manassas,
they've been wonderful to work with,
part service, purchase,
they follow through with everything.
Steve, our salesman,
he's been with us before
we purchased from Vermeer.
Critiquing and helping
us through the system.
Which has made us successful.
Without marrying up with the right people,
and the right team,
you can't be successful yourself.
Called Steve in the morning with an issue,
before they open at Vermeer, at his house,
and he has driven straight out to help us
through a situation.
Sees us through, assesses
it, gives us the best advice
he can give us and we move forward.
- I'm Steve Zaicko with
Vermeer Mid Atlantic.
I'm the Forestry and
Recycling Specialist here.
I met Jeff when I first started here,
talked with him, finding
out what his process was.
I learned more about what
they do, who they are here,
and then as far as what
their needs were going to be.
Working with him on that
we were able to provide him
with a grinder to start with
when he needed one immediately,
and our relationship
flourished ever since then
because we were able to produce
the products that he needs.
Not only is it about the relationship
but knowing your market,
knowing how to generate the
products that they need,
and doing it most efficiently
really allows you to be
that specialist but be that
consultant and really be a
true partner to him all
around from the 360.
- The reason I come back to
Vermeer time and time again,
when they back up everything that they did
from the sale, to the service,
to helping us through a phone call.
This level of quality and service
would be hard to find out there
from any other manufacturer.
