Hiawatha, KS, Dec. 14, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- December 14, 2017 – Outback Guidance dealers from across North America got a sneak peek of Outback’s new hands-free, hassle-free auto-steering solution this week. Outback’s newest product is designed to make auto-steering accessible for all farmers and all farms.
Earlier this year, AgJunction Inc. (TSX: AJX), the parent company of Outback Guidance, launched its Hands-Free Revolution campaign to make hands-free farming accessible to all farmers and new hands-free product is a driving force in this revolution.
“We know that farmers have a tough job and we are committed to making it easier,” said Dave Vaughn, president and CEO of AgJunction. “We continue to invest and work hard in creating simplified and affordable solutions that are accessible to all farmers no matter the size of the farm or equipment.”
Outback’s auto-steering solution is precision farming at its best. By eliminating skips and drastically reducing overlay means the entire plot receives the right stuff to yield bountiful crops without needing excess product to ensure every spot is covered. On average, autosteering saves farmers $15 USD per acre.
On January 8, 2018, the new Outback autosteering solution will be launched in Saskatoon, Canada at the Crop Production Show. Anyone not attending the show can see the new offering online the same day.
