Meet Chris and Helen Music, the dynamic duo behind a thriving Valley Irrigation dealership located in north central Montana. With three young boys aged 8, 6, and 5, and a team of about 15 dedicated employees, Chris and Helen take great pride in running a small, family-oriented business.
Chris acquired the dealership in 2018 after gaining valuable experience working as a salesman under the previous ownership. This background provided a solid foundation for launching and growing their dealership into the reputable business it is today.
When asked what sets Valley® Irrigation products and services apart, Chris and Helen emphasized Valley's commitment to keeping promises. "We are proud of what we do and the products we sell - and we stand by our work," they shared. This dedication to quality and customer satisfaction is a hallmark of their business.
One memorable experience involves working with the local water district, which is known for its traditional methods. Farmers in the area typically spent half their day driving around to pump sites to check water levels and look for issues like plugged nozzles or flat tires. Valley 365 products have revolutionized this process, making it more efficient and significantly improving both crops and lives. "Our goal is to help our customers be more efficient in everything they do," Chris and Helen noted, highlighting the transformative impact of Valley's technology.
Chris and Helen see increased competition on pricing and new products as ongoing challenges in the irrigation industry. Valley’s proactive communication with dealers helps them stay ahead of these challenges and maintain a competitive edge. This support is crucial for navigating the evolving landscape of the industry.
The dedication and innovation that Chris and Helen embody are what define Valley Irrigation dealers. Their commitment to their customers and community, combined with the superior quality of Valley products, makes their dealership a trusted partner for farmers in north central Montana.
