The more things change, the more they stay the same. Well, at least a couple of them. It was a cool and dreary day when I rode along with Phil Moskal, then precision farming specialist with Mid-State Equipment in 2013 for the first Day in the Cab profile in this series.
Nearly 7 years later, I rendezvoused with Phil again — now Integrated Solutions Manager at Mid-State — for another overcast, rainy Day in the Cab. Aside from the weather, and the same ringtone on his smartphone — AC/DC’s “Back in Black” — Phil’s role, if not his musical tastes, have evolved right along with the precision systems he sells and services.
Phil joined the 9-store dealership in 2009 and has helped broaden the company’s precision reach, developing and expanding its RTK subscription network, experimenting with precision service pricing and packaging and transitioning customers into John Deere’s Operations Center and JDLink platforms.
