One of the frequent observations I'll hear from precision farming dealers is that customers rarely utilize the full potential of their technology after purchase.
During dealership visits, it's always educational to get a guided tour of the business and learn about recent enhancements, whether it's a new product line, building updates or staff additions.
Many farm equipment dealers with precision farming interests consider auto-steer to be the entry point for customers who want to utilize technology. In many cases, those systems are now standard features on new tractors rolling off the assembly line. The tangible benefits of auto-steer are easily proven through reduced operator fatigue and the ability to maintain a straight path though the fields.
As dealers explore expansion into precision data management service offerings for farm customers, one of the major industry challenges is a uniform method for gathering, storing and analyzing information. But one group is working toward a standardized approach to data management.
While navigating my first National Farm Machinery Show two weeks ago in Louisville, I made note of the number of potential next-generation farmers, dealers and innovators taking in the event.
Built on 90 years of expertise, Yetter Farm Equipment leads the agriculture industry in designing effective and innovative equipment for residue management, seedbed preparation, precision fertilizer placement, harvest attachments, strip-tillage, and more.
Montag is the industry’s innovative leader for precise, accurate metering of fertilizer, seed and other nutrients. The Montag system has become the standard for deep banding of fertilizer. Montag is also pioneering the technology for cover crop seed application. The new Cover Crop+ is able to meter the smallest seed, and can be mounted to tillage implements, combines, plus Hagie sprayers and detasselers.
