| Biggest Benefits |
| “There’s so many benefits with this technology. It opens a whole
new door for you as far as where you can go in terms of what you
know about your ground and it gives you a good idea of your levels
of productivity. It really keeps track of what you’re doing and how
you’re doing it.” –Rick Eaves |
| |
| “The Ag Leader technology has done everything we’ve wanted it
to do. It’s been outstanding. It’s very user-friendly and is helping
us to be more productive and more efficient. One of the biggest
benefits we’ve seen has been the record keeping and the accuracy.
Technology like this is the future.” – Roland Hill |
| |
| “We can concentrate on planting and concentrate on the drill and
what it’s doing or not doing instead of staying on a row or having to
deal with driving the tractor. That’s the best part.” – James Harper |
| |
| “We have better application control and also better record keeping
with the system. Another benefit is that it helps to build our soils
up to get a better balance of nutrients across the farm.” – Leslie
Bowman |
| |
| Accuracy |
“The Trimble technology has been extremely accurate for us. In
fact, we’ve found it to be accurate to within half an inch.” – James
Harper |
| |
| “We get better control and better accuracy overall. With the
spreader truck it gives us variable rate capability so I can put 1 ton
on here and 2 tons on somewhere else and I can predetermine that
on the computer. It take a lot of responsibility off the operator to
get an accurate application because it’s already set up and ready to
go.” – Leslie Bowman |

| Less Fatique |
| “With the EZ Guide and the EZ Steer there’s less fatigue because
you aren’t constantly trying to look at what the sprayer or
combine is doing while also trying to drive in a straight row. The
technology takes care of the driving for you.” – Roland Hill |
| |
| “The tractor with the Auto Pilot does result in less fatigue. You
can operate longer hours without needing to stop.” – Leslie
Bowman |
| |
“There’s no doubt there’s less fatigue. As the only operator I’ve
definitely noticed a difference. I can work longer without getting
as tired.” – Rick Eaves |
| |
| Productivity & Cost Savings |
“It helps us to be more efficient and productive and that results
in cost savings. And we can put some of our younger farmers on
the quipment, put them in the field and they can plant with it
and feel comfortable using the equipment. We’re excited about
the technology and what it enables us to do.” – James Harper |
| |
| “I’ve definitely discovered there’s a difference in terms of cost
savings. You are more productive and you save on fuel and time
and trips across the field. Plus you also save on seed.” – Rick
Eaves |
| |
| “The planters we have are capable of auto-swapping and so is
the spreader truck, and that results in a real cost savings for us
when it comes to seed and it also does a better planting job.” –
Leslie Bowman |
| |
| “With site verification and yield mapping we’re able to be more
productive and having the Direct Command on the sprayer
means we can prevent chemical overlap so that’s a definite cost
savings.” – Roland Hill |

| Hoober Service & Support |
“Ken Diller and the rest of the Hoober staff are knowledgeable
about this technology. That’s one of the biggest reasons we
chose Hoober – they have people who are knowledgeable in
specific areas. That’s one of the big advantages with Hoober.” –
Leslie Bowman |
| |
“I can’t say enough about the support we’ve received from
Hoober. Anytime we had a question or small problem, which
wasn’t very often, Dave Wharry was always able to give us the
answer we needed or to walk us through. The Hoober folks are
very knowledgeable when it comes to this technology and I’ve
found all the Hoober people to be very knowledgeable in what
they do whether it’s their mechanics or their parts people.” –
Roland Hill |
| |
“Hoober’s support service has
been real good. They’re always
there when I need them, even
on weekends.” – Rick Eaves |
 |
|
| “The service and support from
Hoober has been perfect. We
couldn’t have asked for anyone
any better. We’ve worked with
Ken Diller and Dave Wharry and they’ve just been great with
either answering the phone or calling back right away to help us
in any way they can. We are absolutely pleased.” – James Harper |
