In this episode, Phil Bane recalls the 1980's farming crisis from his vantage point at the time as a Bane Equipment Sales employee. During the crisis, Case bought out International Harvester, making the brand what it is today--Case IH. Phil discusses how this buyout affected Bane Equipment Sales and how, combined with the economic hardship, the 80's proved to be some of the toughest years for the business.
