What our customers think
“
PGG Wrightson and Theland Purata have been working together for a number of years getting physical stock counts done and we were pretty excited when they came to us and talked about SkyCount™. It's certainly something we want to be using, and we see it as a tool that will allow us to not interrupt the on-farm practices.
