May 13, 2021

Food processors rely on modern equipment to remain competitive, enhance efficiency and boost productivity. With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it is more important than ever that they have access to the necessary support to ensure they are well-positioned for the future.

Today, the Member of Parliament for Egmont, Bobby Morrissey, on behalf of the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, the Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, joined Prince Edward Island (PEI) Minister of Agriculture and Land, Bloyce Thompson to announce a joint investment of more than $2.4 million in support of Amalgamated Dairies Limited (ADL).

This funding will help the dairy cooperative install new automation and robotics equipment for their existing Feta packaging line at the Summerside facility. The upgrades are expected to double packaging speed and capacity, and will help bring new products to the market.

Experience the next level of precision spraying with the John Deere 500R sprayer and its new generation boom. Designed for modern farming operations and professional contractors, the 500R combines exceptional boom stability, accurate application and high productivity even at spraying speeds of up to 30 km/h.

The new boom generation features a compact 2.55 m transport width for safe and easy road travel across Europe, while unfolding in the field to working widths of up to 48 meters. A lightweight yet extremely rigid structure, combined with BoomTrac Pro 2, Active Boom Yaw Control and active roll damping, keeps the boom correctly positioned for consistent coverage and reduced drift.

Advanced spraying technologies such as ExactApply with 6-nozzles switchable from the cab, or single nozzle INC Pro using pulse width modulation ensure precise droplet control, minimized overlaps and optimized input efficiency. The result: higher accuracy, lower chemical usage and improved agronomic outcomes even in challenging field conditions.
