Learn From The Cash Crop Farmers – Yield Monitors are a High Return on Investment for Veggies

Carrot/Onion/Potato and Sugar Beet growers can learn from their cash crop growing neighbours and gain the knowledge they have been seeing for years.

Yield monitors have long been only available for conventional cash crop growers, until now.  Innovative technology from Northern Equipment Solutions supplier Greentronics, now allows veggie growers to monitor/map and obtain vital yield data.

Growers can now visualize and gain the knowledge about problem areas, and about high yielding areas.  This task is often hard when operating a veggie harvester, as many tasks are being done at once.   Having yield maps when needed will allow growers to make more informed input decisions, perform trials and all while having concrete data, in map form.

Take a Quantitative Approach to Assigning Territories

Veteran consultant shares data-driven methodology for sales departments Dr. Jim Weber, veteran consultant in the farm and construction equipment industry, identifies territory assignment as a core tactical activity that increases wholegood sales. Rather than treating sales territories as geographical boundaries or a route for sales reps to drive around, Weber presents a mathematical approach to defining, segmenting and staffing territories based on market data, customer value and call capacity math.  “I don’t care if the territories are geographical. I don’t care how they are,” he says. “But we have to assign the territory. We have to have territories for these individuals.”  By replacing guesswork with real data, dealership leaders can transform sales reps from passive into proactive people who manage their assigned market potential.  The Trade Area Formula  The foundation of Weber’s territory model is built on calculating the market size within a dealership’s geographical boundari
