Dallas
Texas, March 28, 2006 - Topcon Precision Agriculture, a leading manufacturer of
precision agriculture and farming solutions, announced that TerraForm
Solutions of Monroe, LA will distribute the next generation of precision
agriculture, the X20 X20, to farmers in 28 states from Maine to Texas
to Florida and Canadian provinces east of Ontario.
"Customers around the world have accepted the X20 system in a major
way and we are excited to be launching this product for our territory,"
Scott Beathard, president of GeoShack said. He continues, "Topcon Precision Agriculture
with their range of X20 systems provides TerraForm Solutions and our
customers the most advanced Precision Agriculture solution available.
We are very pleased to become one of Topcon's major distributors in North
America."
"The success of our current X20 range of precision farming solutions
has been unprecedented," Topcon's Chief Executive Officer, Les Mann
said.
"The next generation X20 solution gives our customers the most robust
and the most powerful and the most flexible precision farming solution
available. It is great to welcome such a respected and capable company
like TerraForm Solutions and GeoShack as one of our distributors."
The X20 X20 complete farming solution provides an advanced precision
agriculture system for farmers including: automatic steering; satellite
guidance; up to five bin/tank one-pass variable rate seeding applications
including granular, liquid and NH3 control; up to 30 auto boom section
sprayer control; fertilizer spreading; and harvester control and monitoring.
All this from a single, rugged, Windows® XP cabin console. The X20
X20 also supports the industry standard ISO11783 CANBUS.
Jeff Rohlena, vice president of Topcon Precision Agriculture USA operations in South
Dakota remarks, "Nothing on the market can beat a X20 X20 for true
multi-tasking. Being able to start with a simple screen based manual guidance
system and be able to progressively add applications, without cluttering
up the cab, is a real bonus. Based on the research at Topcon Precision Agriculture
we know that with guidance plus auto-steer, variable rate application
and mapping is saving them between 20-30 percent on fertilizer and chemicals
as well as over 10% on fuel costs. With the current cost of fuel and other
farm input costs, the X20 from Topcon Precision Agriculture is the only way to go."
Topcon Precision Agriculture has offices in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and Red Deer,
Alberta with fully trained staff to provide product support the Topcon offer
in the North American market.
