Ag Leader Technology Good Fit with Wyffels

John Davis

Over the past few days, we’ve been talking a lot about how the seeds from Wyffels Hybrids are important for producers to get the most out of their land. With a high-quality product like Wyffels, you also need to combine it with the right kind of technology that helps make sure you are getting the right amount of corn in the ground to maximize those planning efforts you might have put together with your seed rep. That’s where our friends at Ag Leader come in. During the recent Wyffels Hybrids Corn Strategies event, Chuck talked with Rick Hofer from Ag Leader, who said their automation equipment helps farmers be more precise.

“With our SeedCommand products, we have automatic shutoffs for row units, which [helps you] save 5-10 percent on your seed costs… which affects your bottom line,” he said. Hofer also gave us a nice rundown on some of the new and even soon-to-be-released equipment from Ag Leader, which they were able to show off as part of the Wyffels Hybrids Corn Strategies event.
