The Farmers’ Advocate Office (FAO) has welcomed Cal Vance as Farm implement inspector. “I was born and raised on a mixed farm near Madden, Alberta, and attended high school in Airdrie and then SAIT for four years obtaining my mechanics licence with a red seal,” says Vance. “I owned and operated a small repair shop for many years working on everything from lawn mowers to four-wheel-drive tractors and most everything in between.”
From there Vance then entered into the oil and gas industry, starting as a mechanic and then moving up the line holding various management and director positions with several service companies specializing in failure analysis, technical support and administering warranty and product performance issues.
Anyone requiring information or assistance regarding farm implements, parts availability, farm implement dealer/distributor licensing, warranty issues, failure-to-perform inquiries or the obsolete parts directory, are asked to contact Vance toll free in Alberta at 310-FARM (3276) or go to the Farmers’ Advocate Office website.
