MIDWEST TECHNOLOGY MAKING A GLOBAL IMPACT Fargo-based Intelligent Ag Solutions was originally founded by Barry Batcheller of Appareo and Howard Dahl of Amity Technology to produce more reliable blockage monitoring for air seeders. Today, the company focuses on rapid innovation and has yielded several game-changing products. The company has grown with its Recon and Engage product lines by helping growers farm more efficiently in markets around the world. From air seeding to dry fertilizer application, these easy-to-use, yet reliable products help manage in-field margins and extend the life of existing equipment.

IMPROVING PRECISION FARMING The Recon Wireless Blockage and Flow Monitor is Intelligent Ag’s flagship product that truly took precision farming to a new level. Unlike traditional optical sensors, the patented acoustic sensors monitor the energy of the seed flow so growers can depend on accurate readings even if the sensors get dusty. If a run has a flow problem, the system gives growers an alert on an iPad® in the cab. Its proven reliability provides the peace of mind of knowing exactly what you’re seeding on every pass. Building on the company's success adding new technology to existing air seeders, Intelligent Ag designed the industry's first retrofit section control for John Deere 1910 air carts. Engage® Zone Control communicates with an air seeder’s GPS mapping system, and can open or close up to eight sections per bin to prevent overlap. For growers, preventing overlap means reducing input costs. Like all Intelligent Ag products, it’s easy to install and built to last. Engage Zone Control is the economical solution for growers who want to benefit from new technology without having to invest in a brand new air seeder. The company’s newest product, Recon SpreadSense, is the first available blockage and flow monitor for floaters. Using Intelligent Ag’s proven, patented acoustic technology, and a clean, simple iPad interface, Recon SpreadSense brings reliable, real-time data from the field to your fingertips to ensure consistent coverage during dry fertilizer applications.
