Our Free Community Tractor Program by Walt Barrett
We have been in the farm tractor business for many years, and it is no secret that many farmers in underdeveloped countries cannot afford tractors, or fuel which would enable them to greatly increase food production, and eventually allow them to stand on their own two feet. We are currently structuring a program to provide a tractor, a spare parts package, a maintenance program, a training program, and fuel to a community on a sharing basis. The program will be managed and scheduled by local Non Governmental organizations (NGOs). We will mange this side including the purchasing of the tractors, and the fund management. The funding will be provided by individual donations and by our company.
Tractors will range from small walking tractors up to large 4 wheel drive farm tractors with
roto-tillers, front loaders and other necessary attachments to fit the needs of a particular area. If you are interested in making a difference being a part of this program, please contact me. We will be going in full force by the end of February 2010 . I am currently making the arrangements to see that our program is administrated honestly and fairly.
I am looking into that now including any governmental reporting and safeguards. It will be done
properly; I promise you that. I will listen to any and all suggestions as to that and any other ideas.
I realize that this is not the best time to start, but the economy is going to pick up again. I am already setting up a file of interested parties. Please contact me at
wbarrett1@aol.com if you are interested and wish to speak to me. People who know me will tell you that
I do things honestly and straight forward. We hope to make a success of this program. There will be no salaries
involved; we're all volunteers--everyone should try to leave this Earth a little better than they found it!
Thank you,
