Ames-based Ag Leader Technology, Inc., announced more new products Friday, proving their position as leader in the development of precision farm solutions. This new product is the fifth the company has announced in less than a month.

Advanced Seed Monitoring, an application available through the SeedCommandTM system, will officially be released in February 2011. Advanced Seed Monitoring will be available on the INTEGRATM display, which is a full-featured touch-screen display that offers year-round precision farming control. The application provides monitoring for seed meter singulation and skips/doubles and spacing quality. It will also give population and spacing information during corn planting.

“Growers looking to eliminate yield-robbing planter problems such as poor seed spacing, and singulation will find this system extremely valuable and easy to use,” said Roger Zielke, SeedCommand product manager. “The INTEGRA display’s 12.1-inch screen provides the industry’s largest view of the performance of all rows. Problematic rows stand out with one glance at the screen.”

Ag Leader is constantly coming out with new hardware and software for farmers and has played a huge hand in the farming revolution over the last 28 years.
