Ag Leader


You may be familiar with Ag Leader, but for those of you who are not, Ag Leader is an innovator in precision farming that holds ethics, relationships, trust, and integrity highly. In 1986, I felt the need to be innovative beyond the scope of my day-to-day job, so I began development of an on-the-go yield monitor. It wasn’t until 1992 that I was satisfied with a marketable product, and Ag Leader was born. Since then, Ag Leader has been producing high-quality, innovative precision agriculture tools that improve decision making, efficiency, and solve agronomic challenges around the globe.

Today, there are many changes going on in the world of precision agriculture – mergers, buyouts, and new companies entering the market. It seems many precision partners are focused on producing products that appeal to the equipment manufacturers and focus less on what the individual grower needs. At Ag Leader, addressing the wants and needs of farmers is our number one priority.

With four offices, 400+ employees and an expansive dealer network worldwide, Ag Leader is dedicated to producing a valuable product experience for growers. Headquartered in Ames, Iowa, Ag Leader remains family owned and operated and solely focused on precision farming technology.

We invite you to look over our products and then connect with your local Ag Leader dealer. I’m certain Ag Leader can improve your farming operation and quality of life.




Copperhead Ag


Copperhead Agricultural Products was founded in 2008 in South Dakota. It began, like so many things, as a meeting of minds. These days we are making a long-term commitment not just to quality and innovation, but to American engineering and manufacturing. All of our products are manufactured with local American companies and all machine work is done by our workers in South Dakota.

Copperhead AG began as a discussion between Dave Terveen and Kevin Berg. Dave is a full-time farmer and business owner in South Dakota; Kevin grew up on a farm and is a mechanical engineer and machine shop owner. Talk between the two led to a realization: crop yields could be dramatically and consistently improved by innovations in the way seeds are planted. Combining their visionary engineering and invaluable real-world experience, new products could be made that would allow farmers to manage and enhance their planting in unprecedented ways.

This simple idea of new approaches to common challenges led to the creation of the Furrow Cruiser spiked closing wheel, a direct replacement for the stock corn planter press wheel. This was followed by the Drill Cruiser, a drill closing wheel offering the same quality and innovation that made the Furrow Cruiser a critical and commercial success.

With these products and our commitment to ongoing quality and innovation, Copperhead Ag was formed. We’ve since expanded our range: we now offer a bracket for update of Case IH closing systems; planter arm conversion kits; and the Cruiser Extreme, a cast iron version of the Furrow Cruiser that offers durability beyond anything our competitors can offer.

At Copperhead we are making a long-term commitment not just to quality and innovation, but to American engineering and manufacturing. All of our products are manufactured with local American companies and all machine work is done by our workers in South Dakota. Everything we do is designed to deliver profitability and value to the great American farmer.

What else can we add? Fantastic customer service, ongoing product support, a large and ever expanding network of dealers and a real passion for American farming. Give us a call to talk about planting – we guarantee you’ll get tired before we do.




DigiFarm Virtual Base Network


DigiFarm VBN is a proven leader in providing RTK Correction Services across the Midwest and beyond, via cellular based RTK network. We have been in business since 2011 working with farmers, Ag retailers, and precision Ag dealers. DigiFarm is “brand neutral” meaning we offer corrections to every major brand of GPS equipment. We are a leader in the industry for innovations in the RTK world by introducing new products such as the industry’s first Bluetooth device to work with Apple, the first company to deliver cellular RTK corrections to John Deere in North America, and the first company to have complete network coverage across the country’s midsection.

Our DigiFarm VBN (Virtual Base Network) is our core business. The VBN is a cellular based RTK network capable of delivering a more reliable, more redundant, and a more accurate solution over a much larger geographic area compared to a single base network. We use multiple reference stations to generate a virtual base for each client. When you turn your GPS on, it will send your location to our VBN server and the server will then “virtualize” a base station which will be located, often times in the same field as you. Our customized mount points for each GPS unit will offer corrections tweaked for the specific needs of your GPS receiver. Currently, your state has a complete network capable of servicing farmers’ needs as well as vertical accuracy needed for water management. Our VBN network solution also delivers this same accuracy to John Deere receivers as well.

A benefit to the VBN are that you will always have survey grade accuracy because a virtual base station will always be nearby. If a base station loses power, internet, or gets struck by lightning, DigiFarm will continue to provide you service because your virtual reference station is generated by the network as a whole and not just a single base station. With DigiFarm VBN, you can move throughout the network without experiencing any line or changing network I.D’s. In the case of a brief cellular outage or poor cellular coverage area you will have the luxury of (with most brands) some form of RTK extend. Trimble, for example, lets you run on RTX for up to 20 minutes. John Deere, AgLeader, and others have various means of providing a backup for a short amount of time.

In order to achieve the greatest level of accuracy and reliability, only the highest quality equipment was chosen to build the network. DigiFarm uses choke ring antennas coupled with survey grade mounts and multi-constellation (GPS, GNSS, Compass, Galileo), unmatched by much of the industry. Our servers are housed in an ultra-secure underground data center featuring full climate control, redundant biometric security, multiple internet feeds, and redundant power. Several layers of security are implemented across all servers with backup systems running in real time to provide service in the event of a system failure of any primary servers.

DigiFarm VBN is looking to partner with precision Ag and equipment dealers to resell our products and services. If there are further questions or to discuss interest in becoming a dealer please contact your regional sales rep or call the main office to discuss this opportunity. If you are not a dealer but would like more information please call or email.
