During the previous two quarters, the Company has reported that the tractor factory has unexpectedly been supplying tractors to the new Buhler tractor dealers, as well as to CNH. This has resulted in greater than anticipated revenue. As forecasted, the CNH volume is expected to decrease during Q4, resulting in more normalized revenue going forward. The core products manufactured by factories other than the tractor factory are continuing to show increased revenue and net earnings. The purchase of the factory in Fargo is expected to allow a further increase in the short line products.
