Lead Engineer of Agrii’s mobile fleet
The fleet is central to Agrii’s desire to meet customer demand for a timely and efficient service. Most growers use a combination of certified and home-saved seed. Certified seed provides access to the latest varieties and is preferred by those wanting to buy-in seed. Home-saved seed ensures you have full control of your seed production process including the volumes required and the choice of seed treatments to be applied. It is also an opportunity to reduce input costs.
Quality is preserved too as weed seeds can be removed, as can smaller grains to increase the average thousand grain weight of the sample. The capability of our mobile units, which are designed in-house, means cleaning and the application of any treatments is just as good as achieved by the static units at our processing plants.
Designed, built and operated by ‘AK’
I’m Andi Karthauser but, to most of my colleagues and some customers, I’m best known as ‘AK’. Within Agrii I have a unique position: as a member of the farm saved seed team, I have been operating the mobile units for more than 10 years, and as lead engineer, I am responsible for the design, construction and maintenance of the fleet. It is a privilege to combine the two roles and I strive to ensure the units are built with ease of operation in mind without compromising reliability or the standard of service.
