Berg Landbouw: Maximum hectares with minimum manpower

“We switched from a wing cultivator to spading because we saw that it was too heavy for the tractor and also took a lot of time,” says Berg. The company now uses two spading machines.

“The big advantage? We can sometimes cover 14 to 15 hectares per day with one man and one machine. That's a huge time saving. Less diesel, fewer staff, and still a perfect end result.”

Efficiency as standard in large-scale cultivation

“Imants' spading machines make it possible to perform multiple operations in a single pass. Not only do we save on costs, fuel, and labor, but we also notice that the soil structure improves because we don't have to drive over the land unnecessarily often. This is reflected in crop emergence and overall yield. We can respond quickly to changing weather conditions, which is crucial on our scale. This way of working fits in with our vision of modern agriculture: smart mechanization, with maximum output and minimum strain on people and machines. For us, this is not just a way of working, it is the new standard, and we want to keep it that way."
