Topcon Precision Agriculture Wins Innovation Award
Topcon Precision Agriculture Wins Innovation Award, Australia, March 6, 2008
Topcon Precision Agriculture today won the prestigious Wimmera Machinery Field Days Innovation Award for its new X20 Weather Station.
The award was presented by the President of the Wimmera Machinery Field Days, Mr Greg Petrass to Graeme Kennelly, Sales and Marketing Manager of Topcon Precision Agriculture. The award recognises the most innovative new product shown at South Eastern Australia’s premier field days.
On accepting the award Mr Kennelly said, “The X20 Weather Station is a leap forward in helping farmers understand the right conditions for the application of various chemicals which can be critical to their effectiveness. What makes it really unique is having the maps of the field showing temperature, humidity, delta-t, wind speed and direction as the chemical is applied.”
Presenting the award on behalf of the Wimmera Field Day Committee, Mr Greg Petrass commended Topcon Precision Agriculture for making a significant advancement in the area of spraying and crop protection and also thanked Topcon Precision Agriculture, formally KEE Technologies, for the many years of continuous support they have shown to the region and the Wimmera Machinery Field Days.
