Today we’re headed out to Yuma, Colo., where third-generation farmer Blake Roth is loaded with precision technology across his operation. Working with his John Deere dealer 21st Century Equipment, Roth has found new ways to boost his efficiency, especially during this harvest season with Machine Sync guidance.  

Blake Roth: “We started Machine Sync during harvest last year. The biggest benefit of that is your grain cart is always in the right spot. My dad runs the grain cart and he’s in charged of logistics. It gives him free hands and free time, and he doesn’t have to worry about the position of his cart as well. He can take care of other things while he’s working.”

Dalton McMurphy: “It’s one less thing he has to worry about. His dad can continue to run the operation more smoothly while getting a consistent unload every time without the combine slowing down, which also improves their efficiency.”

Blake says reliable support from his dealer is a cornerstone of his success — being able to text or call a service technician for help during critical times in the field.
