We leverage technology to deliver precision and excellence

Variable Rate Technology

Our trucks fleet is fitted with Topcon X20 or Topcon X25 spreading controllers which are capable of Variable Rate Spreading. GPS sampling identifies areas in paddocks where nutrient deficiency is affecting the yield. There may be areas where levels are high so that less or even no fertiliser need be applied. Your chosen agronomy provider will create easy to use nutrient maps to highlight these areas. This data is then loaded into the Topcon X20 unit. The adjustment in rates happen automatically when passing over these different areas. This technology eliminates double ups and every part of the paddock receives only the nutrients required, saving you money. This service is available by contacting Agronomy Solutions, SmartAg Solutions, or Agri Optics..

Increased Yield

GPS sampling identifies areas in paddocks where nutrient deficiency is affecting the yield and adjusts the spreading rate to compensate

Fertiliser Cost Savings

Eliminates double ups and every part of the paddock receives only the nutrients required, saving you money

Improved Profitabilty

Increased yield on crops and reduced fertiliser costs leads to improved profitability

Canterbury Owned & Operated

RR Spreading was established in 1999 and is 100% Canterbury owned & operated

Proof of Placement

Environmental regulations are continuing to get stringent. Farmers can now be held accountable and must retain proof that they are complying with regulations.

Our fleet of spreaders are fitted with Precision Farming's GPS tracking systems. These units document the daily movement of our fleet and the exact location and timing of when fertiliser is applied. Our technology partners Precision Farming securely store this data is available on demand from them.
