14 Potato Grower |SEPTEMBER 2015 company that bears his name has not forgotten him, nor does it ignore the legacy of hard work and innovation he left behind. A small museum of sorts has cropped up in the hallway between the company's offices and production floor to remind visitors and employees alike of Senninger's roots. Mark Healy relishes the opportunity to lead what he affectionately calls "the 50-cent tour" of the operation. "Here's Joe's drawing of that first sprinkler," he says, tapping a frame on the wall. "And here's a page from the order book from that first year. Everything was done by hand back then. We've come a long way." Real People Going through the facility, there are all the sounds one would expect in a factory: whirring machinery, the pop as plastic parts come out of their molds and the clatter as they fall into boxes. Yet it's not so overwhelming and discordant as to be considered a cacophony. In fact, coupled with the general cheerfulness of everyone, the noise takes on an almost musical tone. Healy's tour has a stop-and-go nature. Each employee who passes by is greeted ALWAYS NEVER THE SAME Some things never change, but Senninger's dedication to innovation has kept it at the forefront of the irrigation industry. with a warm smile and handshake, which is always reciprocated. Healy knows each of Senninger's 200-plus employees by name, as well as most of their families. The front walkway leading into the facility is festooned with engraved stones bearing the name of every employee who has been at Senninger longer than two years. A small brass plaque is embedded in each stone, indicating the respective employee's years of service. "They feel like these are the people who contributed to get us to where we are," says Ilkenhons.
