growing need for small-scale
equipment.
George St. Johns, publisher of the
U.S. publication American Small
Farm Magazine, also sees a huge
growth potential for his magazine,
aimed at farmers with up to 100 acres
and earning up to $40,000 a year
from their farms.
For farm machinery dealers and
companies, serving this market
means extra care. Ford New -
Holland's Kinder says the dealer is
the key, providing extra help and
longer service hours. "Our dealers
still put on service nights, and

looks good for a buyer farming 500
acres doesn't always appear as
valuable to someone working 10
acres. "That's why we came out with
our value -priced 15 series tractors.
Customers were telling us that our
products didn't meet their needs, they
were over -featured. We have
responded to the customer's wants."
The 1215, 1715 and 3415 tractors
introduced a year ago feature simple
gear transmissions and few options.
The machines have been well-
received in the market, exceeding
initial sales projections. "It's like the
