Case IH is touting advanced technology as it pitches products to farmers in 2024.
Harvesting-Marketing Manager for North America, Ryan Kau, says new for this year is the 160-series combines. Kau says advanced technology has made a big difference at harvest time.
“Whether that’s onboard in the equipment or whether we move it off-board and you’re making decisions after the fact, that machine’s gathering that data so that you can make the most informed decisions outside of harvest while making the best decision in-harvest and getting the best yield from your fields,” Kau tells KFEQ.
As for planting season, Case IH touts precision agriculture.
Precision Field Team manager, Kendal Quandahl, says Case IH gathered a lot of data from 2023 that it will use in 2024. Quandahl says the information gleaned from the machines will help farmers manage their crops this year, especially with precision agriculture.
“I think that when we talk about precision agriculture, sometimes we put it in a very small box of what precision really is and I think that at Case IH, we focus on creating solutions that fit all producers, all sizes, in different areas, different cropping practices.,” Quandahl tells KFEQ. “So there’s very flexible solutions that we can put together to fit an operation.”
There is no one definition of precision agriculture, according to Quandahl.
