Boeck Seeds has already begun to sell Greeneye systems for the 2025 season. In September, it will open a dedicated facility at its existing site where it will retrofit customers’ sprayers ready
for delivery next spring. It has also employed an extra salesperson to deal with the expected high level of demand.
During the retrofit process, the sprayer’s existing boom is replaced with Greeneye’s cutting-edge, proprietary 120ft aluminum boom, which is supplied pre-installed with the key components of the precision spraying system. These include 24 high-resolution cameras, 12 GPUs, 144 independently-controlled spray nozzles spaced at 10” intervals to ensure highly-accurate plant-level precision spraying, and 72 high-intensity lights to allow spraying to be carried out day and night. In addition, the sprayer’s existing single line/tank system is upgraded to Greeneye’s dual line/tank configuration. This feature enables farmers to simultaneously apply residual herbicides on a broadcast basis while spot spraying non-residual herbicides via the Greeneye line, for ultimate weed control.
Once the retrofit process is complete, the Boeck team will deliver the sprayer to the customer, supporting them with in-field training to ensure a seamless transition to precision spraying, as well as providing ongoing operation and maintenance support.
Jerry Boeck, CEO at Boeck Seeds, comments: “In today’s market, the first question farmers must ask themselves when making any purchase is: how quickly can I make this investment profitable? With the Greeneye system, a mid-size farmer will see a return on their investment very quickly. At the same time, the benefits the system offers – a significant reduction in chemical use, and costs, and improved efficacy, all with no subscription fees – are very tangible. This makes it very simple for farmers to understand the value that this technology will bring to their operations.”
He concludes: “As a company that is highly experienced in selling and maintaining precision technologies, the Greeneye system is a very natural fit for us. We are proud to be Greeneye’s first install partner and excited to be on this incredible journey with them.”
