Molitor talks about their product called Slingshot®.

Accuracy is important for a grower to make decisions for the next planting year as well.

MOLITOR: It also gives them realtime feedback as they’re harvesting so they can see what’s going on and again they can rely on that and know that it’s trustworthy and then collect that data and make those input decisions for next year. You can go to our website raven precision.com and search for dealers. The best of the best is our platinum partners and we have several of them in Washington, Idaho, Oregon - that area so they can kind of fit different technologies to your operation. Everybody’s different and our dealers are experts at tying that into an individuals operation.
