For those that can’t make it to the show here is a way to get your message across without being there. I have included a few links and there are others if you do a search for oranges online. If AGCO only gets two dozen oranges at the NFMS, it only confirms to them that this is a few grumpy old men that are mad. It's time people pony up, get out your credit card and ship these oranges. Have them delivered between, Feb. 10-13th. Buy Oranges here: http://www.orangesonline.com/ - http://www.healthycitrus.com/ - http://www.langsuncountry.com/ - Ship To: Kentucky Exposition Center AGCO Corp South Wing B Booth 9014, 9028 or 9034 Time sensitive materials Please deliver directly to booth |

We hand delivered some oranges to the show at Des Moines Iowa today. I do know of a few others that delivered, but they (the Agco folks) must be hiding the oranges about as fast as they show up. I sure hope people take this seriously, and follow through on the plan. I took an orange for myself, and an orange for each of my two sons. My father had one for himself. My sons would have liked to deliver the oranges themselves, but skipping school isn't one of those things I condone. As an aside, the new DT275b is one humdinger of a tractor. Agco really has a machine to compete with everyone else now. It is second to no one. It is a shame they have given themselves a black eye with the whole MF thing. ------------- If it weren't for the last minute, I wouldn't get anything done! |

Dittos to the whole concept, this NEEDS TO SUCCEED! Keep the oranges coming to all of the farm shows including KC's Western Farm show, the 3i show as well as the big dog: NFMS. Just a note on Richenhagens meddling in US affairs, talked to a producer the other day who is on the Ag Connects farmer panel, told me the plan of Ag Connect is to kill off all other US farm shows and make this the big one. Guess who is the head of Ag Connect? Right on, the little dictator. Not only does want to dictate what tractor we drive, he also wants to dictate what farm shows we go to. Bring on the oranges and order attire ASAP from the following: http://www.cafepress.com/orangefinger - http://www.cafepress.com/orangefinger
You need to get these ordered to receive in time for Louisville. I have ordered mine.

I wonder when and where the next AGCO board meeting is and if they would like some oranges there? Not to mention the next stockholders meeting....

I really like this idea. It might be a little less embarassing to Agco at the shows, but it will, most likely, catch the attention of the big boys. I think they are just pretty clueless as to what the real repercussions of this decision are. Mostly just clueless. ------------- If it weren't for the last minute, I wouldn't get anything done! |

| Buy some shares in Agco. You will get a notice of the next meeting. It is usually after year end results so some time in the spring. |

Nah, I won't be buying any shares of Agco. It just seems wrong since I am so agitated with them. I am not very anxious to show any kind of support to them these days. ------------- If it weren't for the last minute, I wouldn't get anything done! |

Usually the annual BOD meeting is published on the web page. Not totally sure, however. The 4Q and full year 2009 conference call is next Tuesday and can be accessed on the web from AGCO's home page. It is under investors/events I think. Could be interesting with the dictator spreading his latest lies and propaganda. Another plea; please order shirts and stickers from the website and deliver oranges personally or have them shipped to the NFMS. Follow the links above, and below. Thank you in advance!

Well, guys, I certainly wish you well. It seems like you're trying to climb Mount Everest in your underwear against a headwind on a very cold day, but I admire your effort. Good luck. ------------- "The trouble with quotes on the Internet is that you can never know if they are genuine." - Mark Twain |

I used to own AGCO stock, even made some money when I sold it. Maybe 10 years ago I received the annual report which had some nice pictures in it but as I looked closer I realized they were stock photos they had bought. One shot was of a farmstead with machinery around the yard. There was a JD 40 series, a Cat D5 or D6 and a red foilage wagon in the pic, no orange or autumn prime and before they owned MF. I'd have to say the staff that put the report together was also clueless.
