Good morning, and thank you for joining us today. Our revenues for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2010 were 87.2 million, increasing 19% over the same quarter of last year. Net earnings were 6 million or $0.48 per diluted share compared with 2.1 million or $0.17 per diluted share in the prior year’s fourth quarter. Total revenues for Fiscal 2010 were 358.4 million, up 7% from Fiscal 2009. Net earnings for the fiscal year were 24.9 million or $1.98 per diluted share compared to 13.8 million or $1.11 per diluted share Fiscal 2009. Fiscal 2010 was Lindsay Corporation’s second highest earnings year, exceeded only by 2008. In the U.S. Irrigation Market, revenues were 33.9 million for the fourth quarter, increasing 16 percent over the same quarter of last year. Since early June, commodity prices rose significantly with corn up 70%, soybeans up 26% and wheat increasing over 60%. The most recent USDA projections for 2010 net farm income show a 24% increase over 2009 and projected to be the fourth highest on recorded, creating generally positive economic conditions for U.S. farmers. For the full year Fiscal 2010, U.S. Irrigation revenues were 152.8 million, down 2% from Fiscal 2009, which benefited from a record backlog at the start of that year carried over from Fiscal 2008. International Irrigation revenues were 23.3 million for the fourth quarter, declining 9% from the same period last year due to lower exports in some regions. For the Fiscal 2010 year, International Irrigation revenues were 105.8 million, up 6% from Fiscal 2009. Our International Irrigation Business Units in South American, South Africa and Europe, as well as exports to Mexico all received solid growth in Fiscal 2010. Long-term market drivers are improving diets in the worldwide population, combined with the water use efficiencies available for mechanized…

(Operator instructions) Our first question will come from the line of Brian Drab with William Blair. Brian Drab – William Blair: Hey. Good morning, Rick.

Good morning, Brian. Brian Drab – William Blair: Congratulations on a really solid quarter, and it’s great to see the QMB business gaining a lot of interest right now. So first of all, in the QMB side of things, you have 15 million in backlog. Can you comment on – can you give us any more detail on the pipeline beyond that 15 million? It sounds like interest is instrumentally better than it was in the last quarter.

Well, I commented in the past, Brian, that we track a project with – that’s in the range of somewhere between 100 to 150 million in projects, or you know, averaging maybe in that 120 range. And I’d say that we’ve continued to see that kind of interest and from time to time it will grow a little bit or contract, depending on what projects are on the list and what’s happening in terms of discussions. But I would say right now that that list remains in that kind of level that we’ve discussed in the past and the interest in QMB remains very strong globally. I think the interesting point that I would make regarding the couple of project that – we talked about one that was completed in the fourth quarter and one that is currently in backlog, is that neither of these appear to be really impacted in any way by stimulus funding. In both cases, these are ones that are supported by holds that are collected. I know the question has come up in the past regarding whether stimulus funding or the highway bill would really impact the QMB growth. And as I’ve commented in the past, it really doesn’t seem to have much of an impact. Brian Drab – William Blair: Okay, great. And then just into the irrigation business, can you give us an idea what your capacity utilization was in irrigation, hot rations in 2010? And a follow-up question there is can you help us at all in trying to forecast what the incremental operating margins would be on stronger irrigation sales in Fiscal 2011?

Well, I would say that our operating capacity, or manufacturing capacity level in irrigation is probably in that 60 to 65 percent range in terms of where we have operated in say the last half of the fiscal year. So that leaves quite a bit of capacity available and obviously, how we manage that capacity or what happens with that capacity will be somewhat determined by where the volume or the incremental revenues are going to come from. We currently have the incremental capacity in all of our irrigation facilities today to handle what we think will come down the line. The second part of your question was around the incremental margin aspect and I’d say first that looking at what we saw in the fourth quarter is margins for irrigation improved somewhat. The bigger margin improvement really came from the official QMB sales in the infrastructure part of our business. What we did see, and have seen some consistent improvements in our irrigation margins, some of which was driven by lean and other things that we’ve done in our factory to improve efficiency followed by the incremental volume. As volume goes up I would expect to see some potential leveraging from that incremental volume. However, the offset of that is how fast that could go up because obviously as we saw in 2008, a very, very rapid increase in volume and also while creating some leverage opportunities create some inefficiencies in the factory as we’re trying to expedite parts and bring in things, a number of different things have to happen to really expedite production. So I’d be hesitant to project incremental leverage or incremental margin other than to say we expect to see something. I wouldn’t really put a number on that at this point. Brian Drab – William Blair: Okay. And then if I could ask maybe one more. The Digitech acquisition, can you add any detail around that and how much you spent on that and how that fits in strategically?

Really, we haven’t disclosed any acquisition amount, but I would characterize it as Digitech is a very small technology company based in Nebraska and they employ approximately 30 people. They’ve been our primary supplier of technology products and components used in our irrigation control and have very good capability when it comes to hardware, firmware, software design, and we have in the past been their largest customer. In the recent years what we’ve seen is their control technology and support related to it have become more important in delivering of irrigation solutions to our customer and in fact it’s really been expanding to become a more comprehensive field management solution that they really are providing. The acquisition of Digitech really provides the opportunity to fully integrate our product development process, accelerating development of those technology products and solutions and yet better controlling quality of the total customer experience. That’s been really important to our dealers and customers that we control that quality and experience. We also intend to leverage that capability across whole irrigation and the infrastructure business segment. Brian Drab – William Blair: Okay. Thanks very much. I’ll get back in line.

Thank you.

Our next question will come from the line of Ned Borland with Hudson Securities. Ned Borland – Hudson Securities: Good morning, and good quarter.

Thank you. Ned Borland – Hudson Securities: On irrigation, I just – if you could delve into the sort of the disparity a little bit with international versus domestic, you know, it seems like that’s sort of the inverse of what we heard out of one of your competitors last week.

Yes. One of the – the point that I’d make on the international market, and that is that in many respects it is such a diverse group of markets that it can be more project oriented and very regional oriented in that we saw good growth in some of the international markets and we saw some declines in other areas where we did see declines. In at least one or two cases we saw increased competition and in some cases even increased price competition which made the comparable maybe a little bit different. So I think that would be one aspect. I think the other that I would look at is the fourth quarter is a relatively low quarter for us in general in that when you look at our total international revenues on the irrigation side, the difference between say a 15% growth number for a 9% decline number is, as you’ll see in the quarter, probably $6 million of revenue. So it’s not a huge swing one way or the other in a low quarter such as the fourth quarter. And we do see these regional swings from time to time. It’s not a great concern but I would say that in some markets we have seen some increased price competition. Ned Borland – Hudson Securities: And this competition would be from you know, your major global competitors or would this be from more localized competitors?

I don’t really want to characterize it into – in terms of pointing to which competitor. I would say that it is – we have seen it and it is relatively isolated which tells me that it can often come down to either specific viewers that are doing something or specific salespeople in a region. I wouldn’t want to characterize it in terms of specific competitors. Ned Borland – Hudson Securities: Okay. Fair enough. If you could just talk about the pricing environment. I guess you kind of have to balance the good backdrop within the domestic agricultural landscape, but also economic factors, farmers are pretty conservative consumers. I mean, do you think you can get some price in what looks to be a strong selling season in the upcoming year?

I think your question is can we get more price in the market in the coming years. Is that correct? Ned Borland – Hudson Securities: Yeah, that’s correct. That’s correct.

I’d be hesitant to project more pricing. I’d say we’ve seen good improvement in our overall growth margins in the irrigation segment in total and also in more specifically to the U.S. market. I would also say that there really isn’t much that has changed in terms of the competitive landscaping in terms of pricing in the U.S. market, and that there’s pretty good kind of overall pricing discipline and perspective has not really changed at all. The other side of that equation is what happens with steel pricing and what we’ve seen in recent months is steel has tended to level out but it’s down just slightly from – or a bit from where it was earlier in the fourth quarter and that’s always a factor. If we see steel pricing fall, we could see competition tend to get some of that back, at which point we will be competitive. So I can’t really say that I would see a price increase opportunity. I think some of it will certainly be determined probably by what competitors do. Ned Borland – Hudson Securities: Okay. Thank you.

Thank you.

Our next question will come from the line of Ryan Connors with Janney Montgomery. Ryan Connors – Janney Montgomery: Good morning, Rick, and congratulations from our end to you and your employees on a great quarter.

Thanks, Ryan. Ryan Connors – Janney Montgomery: I had a couple of questions. First off, just on the issue of the outlook for next year, I mean, obviously the run-up in commodity pricing, corn specifically, has been very recent here and so it’s a little early to tell and remember, we’re a little, you know, we’re still a few months away from the core of the ’11 selling season. But can you kind of update us on what you’re hearing from the front lines in terms of your dealers and your sales people about whether or not this very recent ramp up in corn is having an impact on customer activity in terms of inventories and things like that?

Yes. I’d say from what our salespeople are saying and what our dealers are saying today is that there’s definitely an improvement in farmer sentiment and farmer’s willingness to invest during this coming year based on that sentiment at this time. As you pointed out, this is early in the season, or preseason in terms of that farmer sentiment. So it isn’t much of a determinant yet in terms of what’s going to happen this next year. I’d say that everything we’ve picked up has been very positive. I haven’t really picked up any negatives in terms of farmer sentiment or any specific markets that would view this differently. I think the other point which we will be watching is, as you know, there was the – Section, I think, 179 Tax Incentive, or Accelerated Depreciation that was available to people in terms of accelerating depreciation and tax credit on buying equipment and that was renewed and basically extended into 2011 also. So from an end-of-year standpoint, I think farmers will be optimistic in terms of looking at the potential tax benefits that they receive, especially coming off a pretty good harvest for them. So that doesn’t mean I’m projecting strong revenues at this time for that period. I just think that it’s another positive for the market in general. Ryan Connors – Janney Montgomery: And then kind of revisiting the international versus domestic discussion, you know, as you look out at the outlook for 2011, are there – and you look at the commodities and, I mean, is the outlook more or less bullish for international versus domestic, one or the other, or is it pretty uniformed across the board? Again, just given the way, the dynamics the harvest has played out domestically and abroad and so forth.

My outlook would be generally fairly bullish for both domestic and international and they’re quite different. I think the – in the domestic U.S. market I would expect to see farmer sentiment really supporting additional equipment purchases from a standpoint of implementing efficient irrigation in some of their dry-land fields and it’s kind of an incremental improvement process as we’ve seen in the past as well as converting and replacing some of the older equipment. In the international markets, in that case I would expect to see higher commodity prices stimulate some of the larger projects in more of the project phase-type activity that we’ve seen in some of the past years in 2007, 2008 that we saw shut down quite a bit in 2009. Though I think what we’re seeing and hearing today is more of the project oriented activity in the international markets, which is very bullish. Ryan Connors – Janney Montgomery: And then over on this – on the acquisition side, you know, it’s interesting that in the past I know you’ve talked about acquisitions outside of your two primary platforms right now; being irrigation and infrastructure, maybe looking in other types of water infrastructure products, things like that. But yet, you know, the Digitech acquisition obviously being sort of a vertical integration then within irrigation, would you say from here you’re going to be looking more closely at further kind of vertical integration within your existing platforms or are you still thinking that looking at unrelated businesses as well and potentially a third platform?

I'm hesitant to really focus our acquisition activity on unrelated businesses. I think everything that we have looked at has a leverage or synergy in some way and how we tend to look at our business today is really in the segments of water use efficiency and transportation safety and security. We continue to look for acquisitions in those two segments or areas but some of those may be vertical in terms of supporting or irrigation business or current transportation safety-type business. And some may add in another way just as Watertronics did. You could argue Watertronics was vertical as well, but I think it’s the – the Digitech acquisition is a very good technology to be adding to this business, which we should be able to be leveraged profitability. We’ll continue to look for businesses that fit in water use efficiency and transportation safety and security. Ryan Connors – Janney Montgomery: Super. Thanks for your time today, Rick.

Yep, thank you.

Our next question will come from the line of Paul Mammola with Sidoti & Company. Paul Mammola – Sidoti & Company: Hi. Good morning, everyone.

Good morning. Paul Mammola – Sidoti & Company: Rick, if we look at that new moveable barrier project for the first half of ’11, is that weighted towards the first or second quarter, more one than the other?

Well, I’m hesitant to really split that up for anyone, Paul, because I – as you know, some of these projects can move and I’m just concerned about where that – the timing of that will fall. I would be hesitant to try and characterize that further than to say it will be in the first half. Paul Mammola – Sidoti & Company: Okay. Switching to irrigation, is it fair to say that replacement drove most of the domestic growth that you saw in the quarter?

No. I think that the split was still fairly even between the – let’s say dry-land replacement and conversion. I think there may have been a little higher percentage on conversion in this last quarter. Paul Mammola – Sidoti & Company: Okay. That’s helpful. And if I can try and go back to Ned’s question and reconcile your irrigation results with your closest peer, is it fair to say that the international market has rebounded in the first fiscal quarter? Would you be willing to say that?

I would say that the international markets are rebounding and in general, have rebounded and I would also say that it is still a little bit spotty of a fragment in some markets less so. But in general, I would say that the international market has definitely rebounded. Paul Mammola – Sidoti & Company: Okay. And then on our credit concerns, I mean, do you think that’s adding or compounding decline in the quarter or is that still just a general concern?

I don’t think it’s adding or compounding any of the issues that we’ve seen today. My concern is more going forward. And one of the areas where we’ve seen certainly renewed interest in the last quarter has been in Russia and Ukraine. And certainly that makes a lot of sense if you follow what’s happened in Russia with the drought and the fires and also the shortage in wheat. So there’s been renewed interesting, but I think that renewed interest and excitement is tempered by the lack of credit availability. So that will continue to be a challenge. I think it could be an excellent growth market but credit will still be an issue. Paul Mammola – Sidoti & Company: Okay. Thanks for your time, Rick.

Thank you.

(Operator Instructions) Our next question will come from the line of David Rhodes with Red Bush Securities. David Rhodes – Red Bush Securities: Again, great quarter. I just had a couple questions regarding the infrastructure and the irrigation business as it relates to on the initiatives to the infrastructure business, you clearly benefited from better volumes. But can you walk us through some initiatives that you plan to take to improve margins or at least eliminate some of the variances in margins going forward?

David, you’re referring specifically to the infrastructure business? David Rhodes – Red Bush Securities: Yes, sorry.

Well, I think what you’re referencing or referring to is the – when you look at the previous quarters which were fairly flat to even negative in some cases and from an operating margins standpoint and obviously QMB is a very significant piece of that infrastructure business and pulled up those operating margins at the end of the year. One of the things that we’re focusing on from a – in analysing our infrastructure business today, especially with the new President, is really looking at the product line rationalization, what makes since and what doesn’t and what we can do to improve overall efficiency in that business. We would like to see that business earning decent margins with and without the QMB business coming in on projects to get to the point where it is more incremental rather than something that we have to live off of. I do think that from a scale standpoint, that’s still a little bit of a challenge, but we will get to that point. So there’s a number of things happening from an operation efficiency standpoint, product cost reductions, product rationalizations, market rationalizations, all of those types of things are on the table for reviewing the infrastructure today. David Rhodes – Red Bush Securities: Assuming that we have this similar type of revenue stream in Q1 that we’ve had in Q4, as it relates to any orders in QMB, we’re looking at similar types of margins going forward we should begin to see margin improvement in the second half year over year aside of any QMB business?

I’m not going to project or give guidance in terms of when or how you will see that margin improvement take place. I’m really more concerned about implementing the changes, identifying the things that we need to change and implementing those changes and having it show up in the result. I’m not prepared to put a time frame on that yet. David Rhodes – Red Bush Securities: And approximately on the irrigation side, I assume the acquisition was on the irrigation side, correct?

Yes. David Rhodes – Red Bush Securities: I mean, that’s where you’re pulling it into. So does that imply that the irrigation revenues on an organic basis were down year over year?

No. No, this is a very – first of all, it’s a very, very small acquisition and the majority of their business was from us and it was rolled in right at the end of the year. So no, this does not imply that. David Rhodes – Red Bush Securities: Okay. Great. Thank you.

Our next question will come from the line of Davis Paddock with Investco. Davis Paddock – Investco: Yes. Thank you. Can you break out your operating expenses for Q4 between selling G&A and R&D?

Dave probably has that and do that. Dave Downing.

Sure Davis, it’s selling expense, I’m sorry, Q4 you asked. Selling expense was 6.387 million; administrative was 7.233 and engineering and R&D was 2.374 million.

Great. Thank you very much.

You’re welcome.

There are no further questions at this time. I would like to turn the call back over for closing remarks.

Well, for our business overall, the global long-term drives are water conservation, population growth, increasing the importance of biofuels and the importance of infrastructure remain very positive. In addition to the overall business enhancements that have taken place, we continue to have an ongoing structured acquisition process that will generate additional growth opportunities throughout the world in water and infrastructure. Lindsay is committed to achieving earnings growth through global marketing expansion, improvements in margins and strategic acquisitions. We’d like to thank you for your questions and participation in this call.

This concludes today’s teleconference. You may all disconnect.
