The company has manufactured and supplied a range of dosing systems for the past 40 years. Whatever the nutritional needs of your potatoes—from fertilizers to pesticides—however you need to keep your plants safe, attain the maximum yield and minimize risk, I-Feeder has the equipment to apply it accurately and continuously, indoors and out. I-Feeder precision dosing systems are engineered to be easy to use and maintain, and are economical, robust and scalable. They have been tested and proven in some of the toughest markets across the globe. The systems allow the grower to produce better crop yields with lower operating costs, managing the system remotely while maintaining a sustainable practice. The I-Feeder fertigation system is supplied as turnkey, meaning no additional sourcing is required, and ensures correct installation, designed to be easy and simple. The positive displacement system allows for high accuracy and can run up to four gearboxes dosing either a high volume or four different volumes proportionally. The system features a single gearbox size capable of dosing anywhere from 3.5 to 318 gallons per hour. Two liquid- end volume sizes are available for all capabilities, which allows low stock keeping.

Ceres's team of experts provides dedicated support to help you put your data to work— before, during and after your season. Detect: Field scouts can only cover so much ground—and when they do spot an issue, it's often after the damage is done. Ceres Imaging can pinpoint clogs, leaks and pressure failures before the issue impacts your bottom line. Measure: It's hard to improve your irrigation strategy without the right data. Ceres analytics tools help quantify and track progress—so you can validate key decisions and know if you're making the right investments in your farm. Improve: Effective irrigation goes beyond consistent monitoring and prompt repairs. Ceres will help you develop and refine your farm-level strategy to meet your management goals and deliver ongoing improvements. Precision Ag Line AGCO Corporation has announced the pilot of its Precision Ag Line (PAL) program, a tool designed to streamline support services for farming customers using AGCO solutions with mixed-fleet operations. PAL makes precision farming expertise available to farmers using products from widely used AGCO brands such as Challenger, Fendt, Gleaner, Massey Ferguson and Precision Planting, even when those products are used in conjunction with equipment from other manufacturers. The result is more efficient solutions that lead to improved farming outcomes. PAL leverages the AgriSync platform to ensure a seamless experience for farmers, dealers and technicians. The tool aligns with the dealer's current support system—usually an existing customer service number—to streamline access to the service. Customers of participating AGCO dealers simply call or text a familiar number to speak with product and technical experts at the dealership or AGCO itself for immediate assistance from some of the industry's most capable precision ag specialists. PAL is currently being piloted with several members of AGCO's North American dealership network. The company plans to expand the program to additional locations in 2022.
