Looking Back: 60 Years of Equipment Dealer Associations Consolidation Continues

In this blog, written by Kim Rominger, he states, "NAEDA (then known as the National Federation) was founded by regional equipment dealer associations, the first which was established in 1889 in Salina, Kan. At the time, the implement industry exploded into what was then called the “Harvester War.” This was a period of intense competition in the new grain binder market, and manufacturers were eager to sign up dealers to sell their products. In a short period of time the number of dealers increased substantially throughout the grain belt, and with this came a multitude of problems for dealers; specifically, overlapping territory issues, warranty reimbursement and service responsibilities."

Product Video of the Week: Ecorobotix ARA Precision Spot-Sprayer Debuts in U.S.

Ecorobotix, a Swiss agtech and artificial intelligence (AI) software company, has announced the U.S. introduction of its ARA, a system that scans the field and precision spot-sprays weeds. ARA was launched in 2021. It has since been used in 13 European countries and, most recently, expanded geographically to Canada and South America. ARA uses a combination of Ecorobotix’s UHP-Spray-Technology and the AI-driven Plant-by-Plant software. In less than 250 milliseconds, the system scans the field, captures real-time imagery, identifies the specified crops or weeds the farmer has chosen to treat, and executes a precise spray precision of 2.4 by 2.4 inches, all while minimizing drift.
