Winner of the R10 000 John Deere
clothing voucher in the Senwes
Equipment and John Deere Selfiecompetition.
“MY husband, Nardus’ love for
John Deere rubbed off on me.”
PRINCE MASHELE
Political Analyst
In an article in Farmers' Weekly after
his visit to Nampo Harvest Day, where
he formed part of the Nation in
Conversation panel.
“THE discussions are definitely
the best publicity which
agriculture has received over the
last 20 years. This is due to the
efforts of the progressive team
at Nation in Conversation, and
in particular Francois Strydom,
Chief Executive of Senwes, who
is the driving force behind these
discussions.”
ERNEST PRINGLE
Chairman of Agri SA Agricultural
Development Policy Committee
When he alluded to the fact that the
87/13% figure is often quoted as if
white commercial farmers still own
87% of the land.
“THE Stats SA survey of 2009
indicated that commercial
farms cover about 67% of
the country. The WinDeed
information illustrates that this
picture is changing, not only
WIN BIG with Senwes Equipment and John Deere. A John Deere Gator to
the value of R230 000 and a vacation of R80 000 to Mauritius must still
be won. Enter now!!!
through government-initiated land
reform programmes, but also as a
result of market transactions. ”

The guy who has been on the
