Customer Needs:
Customer had a system from another manufacturer and was unsatisfied with the results. First and foremost they wanted to have straight rows.
Specialist’s Solution/Outcome:
The first thing to solve for was proving that our equipment would deliver straight rows. Precision Farming Specialist, Seth Conway, started with a single machine and proved that straight rows weren’t a problem. Since that solution, they have updated their tillage and Planters to have RTK/CORS guidance.
