Agri-Trend launches new Geo Company!
Agri-Trend Geo Solutions Inc (ATGSI) has been formed to help farmers and agri-business integrate GPS, GIS, Variable Rate and other Geo technology in agriculture.
Robert Saik, founder of The Agri-Trend Group of Companies explains this latest addition to the Agri-Trend Group of Companies saying, “We have been developing our Precision Farming products for over 5 years. As we worked through our Precision Management Process™, it became evident that a new organization, focused on Geo support was the way to go. It all came together when Warren Bills agreed to head the new company.”
Headed by President Warren Bills and based in Calgary, Agri-Trend Geo Solutions Inc is a business collaboration between Agri-Trend Inc and GeoFarm Solutions Inc with the vision being “All things GEO”.
The aim is to deploy a Network of Geo-Coaches™ to offer technical Geo-support to the other Agri-Trend Companies as well as Agri-Retailers (crop input and equipment retailers), Agri-Industry (fertilizer, crop protection and seed companies) and farmers who are looking to integrate GPS, VRT and/or GIS strategies into their operations.
“This is when farming gets fun!” explains Warren Bills, President of ATGSI. “By taking high quality tech products, strategic processes, and motivated Geo-Coach™ specialists, we find the best way to identify, treat, and prescribe solutions for managing in-field variability that make economic sense.”
The formation of Agri-Trend Geo Solutions Inc. will result in several initiatives, including
1. More feet on the ground through the expansion of The Geo-Coach™ Network.
2. 3 levels of imagery options for high resolution Real Shot™ aerial imagery and high resolution satellite imagery from RapidEye as well as low resolution 30 M satellite imagery.
3. Drainage management program and added Soil Audit™ services that include VERIS technology to help farmers determine yield limiting factors in field..
4. Better Online Tools through the enhancement of geospatial capabilities within The Agri-Data Solution™ online data management platform.
While Geo-Coaches™ do not make recommendations; they will team up with professional agronomists to enhance the integration of technology with agronomics. “It seems cliche, but there isn’t a silver bullet in agriculture”, explains Warren Bills. “Precision agriculture and variable rate technologies do pay, but they need to be designed around a sound agronomic strategy and with a vision that matches yours. This is what we do.”
