German Company Brings Plot-Sized Planters, Combines To U.S.
 |
“We are at capacity in Europe, and the only way to properly serve the North American market was to have a plant in the U.S.,” says Tamra Boucher, managing director for Haldrup USA. Production, service and sales will all be handled from the Ossian facility.
Lab machinery and planting equipment is already available and custom orders are being taken for equipment needed next spring.
“Our equipment is designed for test plots,” Boucher says. “We don’t build it until the customer tells us what they are looking for.”
Planting equipment is typically for 2, 4 or 8-rows. Mini combines cover 2 or 4-rows. Options include upgraded seats, data collection systems for weight and moisture, and a sampling system that brings grain samples into the cab to be bagged and recorded for analysis.
While the equipment can also be suitable for small acreage farmers, Haldrup’s main focus is on customers who farm test plots, Boucher says.
Though there are already a couple of manufacturers, there is room for Haldrup’s 40 plus years of experience in the industry.
The company sets itself apart because of its “customization and our willingness to work with customers,” Boucher says. “Most of our new products created over the years come from our relationship with our customers.”
