Platte Valley Equipment’s new music movie doesn’t attribute screaming crowds or loud guitars, but an agriculture sprayer.
The business’ Fremont area a short while ago filmed a online video of its new John Deere 612R spraying drinking water choreographed to music. The video was filmed early last thirty day period and posted June 24.
The sprayer employs ExactApply know-how, which Nate Dorsey, agronomic options expert for Platte Valley Tools, claimed makes it possible for every nozzle to be controlled independently.
“That’s pretty one of a kind for most sprayers, which never have that stage of regulate,” he reported. “So we just required to check out to obtain a way to spotlight the sprayer, but also the know-how at the rear of it in accomplishing some thing that’s rather exceptional.”
Platte Valley Tools, established in 1996, also has locations in Clarkson, Humphrey and Wahoo. The enterprise is a John Deere supplier and sells farming equipment these types of as combines.

Dorsey said he created the strategy with John Stubbendick, as the two are included in the business’ know-how and merchandise presenting sides. They worked on the venture for several months right before filming.
“Because of the way that the sprayer operates, to choreograph it to the new music, we can make a map and we can really ship it to the sprayer, which will spray according to the map that we manufactured,” he reported. “So we have to fundamentally make a map in advance of time that would be timed to the tunes.”
Previous December, Platte Valley Devices moved its Fremont spot to a new constructing at 2221 County Road Q. With the new building, Dorsey mentioned they have been offered more area to operate on a challenge of this sizing.
“So that was one wonderful point, just just one way of celebrating staying in a marginally larger space than we were being in advance of in which we couldn’t definitely do issues like this,” he stated.
Filming for the tunes video included a drone and was done at evening. Dorsey and Stubbendick also shot a at the rear of-the-scenes video that was posted the exact same working day.
Dorsey claimed he was happy with the video’s filming, despite the fact that the sprayer had to run slower and the prescription for the map had to be scaled down to make certain all the things would go right.
“If we would have experienced a even larger field, we would have been able to run it a very little bit faster and I think it would have turned out even improved,” he explained. “But in general, I consider it turned out specifically how we imagined it.”
With the movie, Dorsey mentioned he needed to demonstrate the general public that sprayers and other farming devices has sophisticated adequate so that persons can test anything like this on their own.
“The most important factor is mostly just highlighting the engineering,” he mentioned, “that we’re in a place today the place farmers can have this sort of specific management of their spraying.”
