Agri-Service LLC, an AGCO farm equipment dealership with 10 locations across Idaho and Eastern Washington, is integrating its precision-farming division, Vantage-Northwest, under the Agri-Service brand to create a more seamless customer experience. The division will now be known as Agri-Service PTx.

Agri-Service acquired Vantage-Northwest in December 2018, expanding its precision-farming capabilities for customers throughout the Pacific Northwest. The newly integrated division offers such cutting-edge precision-farming solutions as PTx Trimble and Precision Planting.

The advanced precision-farming technology available via PTx Trimble includes GPS-guided systems for efficient land management, planting, and resource utilization to boost farm productivity. Meanwhile, Precision Planting agronomic technology delivers innovative solutions for planting, application, seeding, and soil management to enhance crop yields.

Ryan Hermann, sales operation manager at Agri-Service PTx, said customers will enjoy numerous benefits from the move.

“Our advanced technology solutions for precise planting, resource management, and farm operations can help farmers increase yields and efficiency,” he said. “With dedicated local service support at each dealership, Agri-Service PTx can keep our customers’ equipment operating smoothly and minimize downtime. And by bringing the division in-house, we now offer seamless, fully integrated technology solutions with the equipment we sell, ensuring our customers maximize the value of their investment.”

Hermann said in-house training is being conducted over the next few months to ensure smooth implementation and that the company will deploy four in-house product specialists regionally to cover Agri-Service’s growing territory.

According to Hermann, Agri-Service is working with AGCO Finance to offer financing options to customers. And while the division’s focus will remain primarily supporting AGCO equipment, he said Agri-Service PTx plans to extend its precision-farming technology to customers operating mixed fleets in the future.
