Training Playbook: Redefine Roles & ‘Mainstream’ Precision Technology
I’ve spent the last 20 years working in the ag equipment business with John Deere — the first 10 in the corporate world and the last 10 in the dealership world. Today, our dealership, Hutson Inc., has 31 total retail locations split from Clarksville, Tenn., to Gaylord, Mich. We are a sales region-based company which means we have no store managers.

Gaylord’s Aubrey Jones named Gatorade & MaxPreps Player of the Year in the state of Michigan
GAYLORD - Gaylord’s Aubrey Jones was named both the Gatorade Player of the Year and MaxPreps Player of the Year in the state of Michigan in June. Jones was a key part of Gaylord’s state championship run as the Lady Blue Devils went back-to-back as state champions in division two. According to MaxPreps Jones led the nation in home runs with 26 and RBIs with 84. She also went 15-0 pitching this year, striking out 122 batters. Jones sees the awards as recognition for the team rather than herself. “My goal has never really been to get accolades for myself. I always do my best for my team, this year I had a great season, so I’ve gotten more awards that I’m usually used to, but none of that would be possible if I didn’t have the team, I had behind me all year. So, I really think all my awards, are team awards, because I wouldn’t get them without them.” Said Jones. Aubrey Jones will be heading off to Oklahoma State after her senior year, where she hopes that Gaylord can threepeat as State Champions.
