Having grown up on a dairy farm in Belgium, Stijn Brebels had operated a number of different tractor brands before traveling to the United States and becoming the operations manager for Vandersanden (VDS) Farms, a 5,000-cow dairy in southern Michigan. So, when it came time to trade the John Deere® tractors the farm had leased for the past three years, Brebels convinced the owners that Fendt® would be a better fit. To that end, Plevna Implement Company in Nappanee, Michigan, delivered two Fendt 828 tractors, two Fendt 822 models and two Massey Ferguson® 8700 Series tractors to the farm this past November.
