The most viewed item this month was on the sprayer systems and came to us from Keith Byerly, Advanced Cropping Systems (ACS) manager with Central Valley Ag.
The top article this month was on Case IH's introduction of new Advanced Farming Systems (AFS). Creating sales potential with cellular RTK, as opposed to tower-based RTK, was also at the top of the list, as well as a blog post on retaining qualified specialists.
Although the reliability and accuracy of tower-based RTK is still regarded as an industry standard, at least one dealer is transitioning into cellular service. We caught up with Brice Hennings of Central Illinois Ag, a 4 location Case IH dealership, to talk about the transition process.
New product announcements from the summer farm shows fill several spots in this month's list. Also near the top is a report on Central Illinois Ag's usage of GPS trackers on precision specialists' trucks and another report on defining precision ROI for farm customers
Verdant Robotics showed off its new Sharpshooter at the FIRA Conference a few weeks ago. Dubbed the only robotic precision application system that aims before it shoots, Sharpshooter uses Bullseye Aim & Apply Technology.
