Testimonials
Stacy,
Harvest is over and we are processing the results now, so I finally have time to write a note of thanks. We appreciate your company's response to our needs for a special precision planter for our Peanut Variety Quality Evaluation Program (PVQE).
We feel that SRES went the 'extra mile' in responding to those needs. We especially appreciate Brian Winkelman's visit back in September to refresh us on the planter operation and to demonstrate to Ames Herbert and Joel Faircloth's technical staff the benefits of the precision planter for cotton research. Bryan seemed to enjoy the visit and had an opportunity to observe peanut cultural practices. This should help in future planter development for this crop. Hopefully Joel will be able to purchase this cotton planter that he needs in the near future and I believe that when we demonstrate the benefit to Tom Isleib next Spring, he will likely want to move forward with his program also. We look forward to Bryan's visit next May when we plant the first PVQE trials. Getting that first trial planet with the precision planet will be a great leap forward for our program.
Thanks again for being a solid, reliable, vendor. It has been a please doing business with SRES
Sincerely

Monsanto South Africa was the first Monsanto location outside of the US to purchase the SRES planter. The performance of this planter brought a level of precision in planting that had not been experienced previously. We found the planter easy to use and delivered on promises in the first year. We were extremely pleased with the support from SRES given the distance from the US. SRES provided not only people on call at any time but also a video to help us understand how to set up and utilize the planter. We found the SRES team to be very interested in our special needs and willing to innovate to help us achieve our corn testing requirements.”
