Driving Technology

Adron Belk uses data to cut costs, improve yields and make every decision, from fertilizer usage to what tire pressure he uses when planting. The precision-driven strategy is what’s helping drive profitability.

Instead of looking at the technology to cut costs, southwest Kansas farmer Luke Jaeger sees it as a way to do a more effective job at battling intensifying weed pressure.

Northern Illinois farmer Dan Hartmann made a big leap by purchasing a used sprayer with See & Spray technology. He says when looking at just his soybean acres, the technology will pay for itself in 18 months.

Brian Geerlings recently bought a used sprayer and upgraded it with a See & Spray kit. He says weed control can cost $20 to $30 per acre, so being able to see and only spray weeds delivers a big savings.
