GP-YES

       On Monday morning, Andy Billing and Mark Luffy of Turflux will make the trip over to the good side of the state of Pennsylvania (HAHA!). They will be bringing the second Turflux upgrade unit to White Manor CC. White Manor was the first club in the Philadelphia area to convert their Toro sprayer to the Turflux GPS spray system and with a little creativity, we were able to get their 300 gallon sprayer converted only a few months later!
        It is interesting when I have been sitting talking with customers, most have the same question, "Where do you think GPS spraying is heading?". My answer is,"It is coming!". I keep repeating the analogy of a Raven controller that years ago was a big deal and now is common place. I know that some of the guys are looking at it as too much technology, but not many of us go anywhere without the GPS on in our car!
       Now there is Smithco's version of a GPS sprayer, Turf Geeks and Toro and John Deere have something on the way. While the transition to a new way to do things in our business is usually like turning an ocean liner, I truly believe that this is where all sprayers are headed. Why? Well, the more environmental restrictions and enforcement become more of a challenge, you are going to need to show more ways that you are being environmentally conscientious and being sub-inch exact with precise applications, I would think is the right answer!
