Introduction

I am currently a production employee for Remington Seeds at the Hastings, Minnesota location. This is a seed corn production and conditioning facility.

Right now there are four PDF brand detasseling machines being used to detassel corn. These machines are old and worn out. I believe Remington is a far superior seed producer to be using such machines as these.

I am proposing that four new Hagie detasseling machines be purchased for the production line. These machines would be a great benefit which would greatly decrease the amount of time it takes to detassel a field of corn.
