Subject: [GWL] FW: The June 2003 Johnny's Selected Seeds Update

Farm equipment manufacturing opportunity

Planet Jr. seed sowing machines were important tools for American vegetable, herb, and flower growers for over 90 years.  The brand changed ownership several times, presently in the hands of Powell Manufacturing Co. in South Carolina.  Over the last few years there were various quality problems in the seeders that Powell was making, and we stopped selling them except on special order, though we continue to offer spare parts.
Powell has, apparently, recently come into hard times, and the assets, including the Planet Jr. brand, are going to be auctioned by sealed bid on August 15.  We have reverence for properly made Planet Jr. seeders, they would enjoy a strong market in my opinion, and we would dearly love to see somebody pick up this opportunity.  Johnny's would be first in line to become your customer.
Are you experienced in manufacturing, iron casting, machine tool work or the like and looking for a new opportunity?  Somebody you know, maybe?  I suspect that Planet Jr. could be had for a screaming bargain.  This link has the information --  http://www.rosensys.com/auctions.htm.
