    Marion Calmer: More Important Things than Corn | Ep. 10

    Marion Calmer: More Important Things than Corn | Ep. 10
    The financial difficulties of the 1980s forced Marion to find more efficient and profitable ways of farming in order to stay in business. In 1985, Marion founded Calmer Agronomic Research Center, an independent, self-funded research center, with the goal of finding ways to reduce input costs and increase profitability for himself and other farmers. After a visit to then-world-record-holder Herman Warsaw’s farm in 1985, Marion became interested in narrow row corn due to the potential yield increase and input cost reduction. He would go on to build the world’s first 15-inch corn head in 1994, the world’s first 12-inch corn head in 2013 and the world’s largest corn head (at the time) that same year. Most recently, Marion invented the BT Chopper® Upgrade Kit system to enable factory corn heads to manage cornstalk residue more efficiently than ever, saving farmers time and money.

    Eric Jenkins: Dropout to Millionaire | Ep. 7

    Eric Jenkins: Dropout to Millionaire | Ep. 7
    Eric Jenkins sits down with us to talk about the process of going from being a college drop-out to creating an internationally renowned brand.

    When it was Eric’s turn, he headed to NDSU, but after 5 days he determined that school wasn’t for him, so he packed up and headed back home and started working with Marty in the shop on the family yard.Being from Minnesota, a number of people were in the market for Snow Bucket attachments for their skid steers. Eric figured he could do that, so he got to work welding hand-cut attachments. When word got out, Eric soon found himself busier than expected and a family friend came in to help him out.Patrick made the decision to head home and help Eric and Marty get the orders out. Using his engineering background, he was able to design new models of attachments including Grapples. Once again the designs were a hit and the orders started rolling in. Kurt ended up leaving his practice and came back to help run sales so the guys could focus on getting the orders out.Marty has been involved in quality control since the beginning and makes sure every design can stand up to any form of abuse you can through at them. As a true testament to the quality of our attachments, Marty is still using the original Skeleton Grapple, and let’s just say he has put it through the wringer. To this day, you’ll find him working at least 14 hours a day in the shop making sure products are meeting the Jenkins Family standards.
