new member benefits!

Texas Farm Bureau is proud to announce the addition of two new discount programs to the long list of money-savings offers that are available exclusively to members. These new programs offer a cost-effective, convenient way for members to obtain top quality products and services through the TFB network of preferred suppliers.

Ranch Hand customers have known for many years that the strength and reliability of Ranch Hand products are the highest in the industry, said TFB’s Publications Marketing Director Drew Wenner.

“Now, the new line of Ranch Hand products are also the best looking truck accessories on the market today,” he said. “Ranch Hand has redesigned each product to complement the new trucks and sport utility vehicles that are sold throughout the country. The new Ranch Hand styles have sleeker lines and an advanced powder coating process for a long-lasting appearance—even with rugged use on farms and ranches.”

Wenner said TFB members can obtain a 10 percent savings off retail price on purchases of Ranch Hand products. The company offers pipe rear bumpers, grill guards, complete front-end replacements, headache racks, bed caps, winches, tool boxes and more. The discount is available at Ranch Hand stores across the state and at participating dealers that carry Ranch Hand products. Ranch Hand stores are located in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Boerne and Bryan/College Station. For the closest location call Ranch Hand toll free at 1-800-366-9712.

“Many of our customers have a unique story to tell about how their Ranch Hand equipment protected their vehicle both on and off the road,” says Rocky Marshall, Ranch Hand general manager. “Whether you’re heading to town to pick up mail or if you are out in the brush bumping heifers, you’ll be glad to know that Ranch Hand has you protected.”

Now available directly to TFB members is a line of quality, color ink jet printers from Lexmark.

“The prices of this line of printers will be discounted dramatically to Texas Farm Bureau members,” Wenner says. “The printers are PC and Mac compatible and include free cables for hook-up.”

The top-of-the-line model, the Z52, prints at 2400 X 1200 dpi and is capable of photographic images. The cost of this particular model to TFB members is $50 less than at retail chains.

“You will be amazed at the speed and quality of Lexmark printers,” Wenner says.

Angie Newman, Lexmark marketing manager, says the printers have the “leading edge in photo quality. With their speed and resolution, Lexmark ranks above the competition,” she said.

Printers can be ordered by mail, phone (1-888-LEXMARK, ext. 377), or directly over the internet (epp.lexmark.com). The master account number for TFB is 52805828. The master code must be entered to get the special member discount.

Shipments will be made at express package service direct to your address.
