Rightly or wrongly I have passed on DE. I read couple years back that their new equipment being introduced was not only somewhat of a technological marvel, but also ahead of the competition, and very cost-effective (supposedly) for farmers. The complexity of the equipment required DE service and with that, likely service contracts (so on-going revenue for DE). This conflicted with my view of farmers as a hearty bunch, independent, who kept their equipment operating by doing their own minor, maybe major, repairs. I envisioned a lot of push-back against the new and expensive DE equipment, and not so good for the stock price. Perhaps I've been wrong.
