As farmers prepare for this year’s harvest, they’re starting to think of ways to make their operations more efficient.
Chief Sales and Operations Officer, Jim Wood, from Rocky Mountain Equipment talks about how new technology is helping reduce time and costs.
“I would say the producers around Manitoba are very advanced when it comes to machinery and technology. A lot of the brands are at par with what they are offering. Whether it’s Aim Control Plus on sprayers, where each sprayer nozzle acts independently. There are actually control line drills so you aren’t double seeding when you are at headlands. There’s a lot of this technology that makes the farm more efficient.”
One thing Wood says is important to remember is that technology efficiencies should give producers a better return on investment.
