When you’re paid by the acre, being capacity-limited means being profit-limited. That’s exactly why B&B Ag Services, Arrowwood, AB, sprays entirely with John Deere commercial sprayers.

In operation since 1981, B&B Ag Services provides ‘a complete line of crop services’ to nearly 300 growers in a 40-mile radius around Arrowwood. As a major provider of fertilizer and chemical application services. B&B needs spray equipment that’s both dependable and operator-friendly. “Service was the major reason we switched to John Deere,” says B&B partner Monty Beagle.

“Service, and the features of the John Deere machines. When my dealer, Deerstar Systems, Inc., delivers a sprayer, I know it’s a complete package. I know I have everything I need to do the job.”

In Beagle’s case, ‘everything I need to do the job’ includes the very latest in boom-control and automatic guidance technology. It’s that technology, he says, that keeps his operators comfortable and his application customers satisfied.

“Even the best employees can have trouble keeping a big sprayer moving in a perfectly straight line, especially when they’re in the cab so many hours. But with AutoTrac Assisted Steering, my customers see straight tracks in the field and they know nothing has been missed.

“Just one of our John Deere sprayers covered 60,000 acres last year,” says Beagle. “With both of them together, we covered more ground easier, faster, and more comfortably than we ever have before.”
