Spending a day with a precision farming specialist for this regular feature is always an adventure. My latest experience took me to west central Minnesota and an eventful 10 hours with Matt Rohlik, Integrated Solutions Manager at Haug Implement.
Rohlik joined the John Deere dealership 6 years ago and works out of the Willmar, Minn., location, which houses all 4 of the company’s precision farming personnel. The dealership also has a second location in Litchfield, Minn., about a half-hour west of the flagship store.
In a segment of the ag industry where turnover is high and technical experience is a sought after commodity, Matt prides himself on blending business savvy and progressive precision expertise to serve farm customers.
Whether balancing 120-feet in the air to troubleshoot an RTK signal, demonstrating the tangible benefits of owning an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or tracking a customer down during harvest for a warranty claim signature, Matt was always on the go, with a goal of keeping customers satisfied and the dealership profitable.
This fall, I spent a day with Rohlik. Along the way, I shot video of my experiences.
