Favorite Midland Product for Harvest: The MXT500 paired with the 6dB antenna is hard to beat. The high wattage of the radio and great reception of the antenna result in phenomenal audio quality and range. It is nice being able to talk over long distances in a short amount of time.
LEANN MEYER
Farm Location: Rosebud, Missouri

Favorite Harvest Tip: Make it a family affair anytime you can. It might take longer, but the memories and family time together is worth it.
Favorite Post-Harvest Activity: Going to Mark Twain Lake or some sort of vacation

If you've ever misheard a direction, or didn't see the right hand signal, you'll know! Having our Midland MicroMobiles in the tractor cabs and the walkie talkies in the semis have been such a game changer for us! We actually talk more throughout the day now since we don't have to worry about cell service or our phones dying!
