We’ve been busy the last 3 months renovating a 14′ John Deere disk. The disk was generously donated to us by Noreen Kleinfehn-Wald and her family. The below photo is Terry, Noreen and Moussa.

We had some work done by the John Deere dealer in Alexandria, MN, then we transported the disk to the Reviva warehouse in Brooklyn Park, MN. The day we moved it is was -15F !! It’s mind boggling to think the temperature difference when it completes its journey to Burkina Faso. 

Over the last 3 weeks we have used Cargill volunteers to help on sprucing up the disk even more. Nothing like a fresh paint of coat to make a 40 year disk look brand new !! Thanks to all the volunteers that have helped us on this project, in the photo are (L-R) Joe, Dustin, Chris, Terry, Moussa and Robert. 

As we were assembling the disk, we made detailed notes to help enable the receivers in Burkina Faso reassemble after removing from the container. This disk will be a massive improvement vs the other disks we have shipped, much heavier and wider. This will significantly improve productivity when working the land.
