Outback Guidance by AgJunction Launches Hands-Free Farming Campaign at The Farm Progress Show 2017 in Decatur, Illinois

The hands-free farming campaign is focused on building a community to share their experiences, suggestions, and best practices around cost-effective precision farming systems that work for farms of all sizes.

HIAWATHA, KS, Aug. 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ - Outback Guidance, a leader in automated steering and advanced precision farming solutions, and a part of AgJunction, Inc. (TSX: AJX), is launching its hands-free farming campaign at the Farm Progress show 2017, which is being held August 29th-31st, 2017 in Decatur, Illinois.


The hands-free farming campaign is focused on building a community to share their experiences, suggestions, and best practices around cost-effective precision farming systems that work for farms of all sizes.

Outback Guidance believes precision farming systems should be available to every farmer, regardless of size. In fact, small farmers benefit more than anyone when they use precision farming systems to manage their crops. An example of this was highlighted in a USDA study, which shows farmers can save $15 an acre each year using a GPS autosteering solution.

"With the launch of our hands-free farming campaign, we're committed to making precision farming systems accessible to every farmer who can benefit from it," said Jeff Morris, AgJunction's chief marketing officer. "Farmers can join our campaign today by going to www.handsfreefarm.com and registering. In doing so, they'll receive a limited time offer for an easy-to-use and affordable autosteering solution. And, if they farm 400 acres or more, they'll realize payback in their first season."

The ERT150 - Dorner's Next Evolution of Edge Roller Technology Conveyors

The next evolution in Dorner's Edge Roller Technology conveyor platform, the ERT®150, is ideal for small and light-load assembly automation, as well as medical and medical-device assembly application. The ERT platform is the only pallet conveyor of its kind available with an ISO Standard Class 4 rating for cleanroom applications. Earning the ISO Standard 14644-1 Class 4 rating means Dorner's ERT150 will conform and not contribute to the contamination of cleanrooms to those standards. As implied by its name, the ERT150 (Edge Roller Technology) uses rollers to move pallets through the conveyor smoothly with no friction (a byproduct often seen in belt-driven platforms). The conveyor's open design eliminates concerns of small parts or screws dropping into rollers and causing conveyor damage or jamming. The ERT150 is suited to operate in cleanroom environments requiring a pallet handling conveyor. It is capable of zoning for no or low-back pressure accumulation and is ideal for automation assembly applications within industries including medical devices, electronics, consumer goods among others.
