Precision Solutions for Orchard, Vineyard & Vegetable Growers
Ontario horticulture operations face increasing pressure:
- Higher input costs
- Tighter margins
- Labour shortages
- Spray compliance requirements
- Water management challenges
- Long-term orchard & vineyard layout precision
At OFVC 2026, GPS Ontario will be showcasing precision systems specifically designed for specialty crop growers, not broad-acre farms.
What We’re Demonstrating at OFVC 2026
🚜 PTX Trimble Guidance for Specialty Crops
PTX Trimble Guidance Systems
In vineyards and orchards, guidance accuracy affects:
- Permanent row structure
- Spray repeatability
- Headland performance
- Crop protection
- Operator fatigue
We will be discussing:
✔ WAAS vs RTX vs RTK for specialty crops
✔ Row-to-row repeatability year after year
✔ Narrow row navigation
✔ Permanent traffic lanes
✔ Multi-tractor boundary sharing
🍷 Advanced ISO Control for Vineyard Sprayers
PTX Trimble Advanced ISO
For vineyard sprayers, overlap equals wasted chemical.
Advanced ISO allows:
✔ Section control in narrow rows
✔ Accurate rate control
✔ Headland shutoff automation
✔ Task logging & documentation
✔ Compatibility with ISOBUS vineyard sprayers
This reduces:
- Chemical waste
- Over-application
- Operator guesswork
🌊 SurePoint ChemBlade ES – Closed Chemical Handling
SurePoint ChemBlade ES
Fruit and vegetable growers are under increasing pressure for safe handling and accurate injection.
ChemBlade ES delivers:
✔ Closed chemical transfer
✔ Reduced operator exposure
✔ Precise injection rates
✔ Clean system flushing
✔ Consistent performance across varying speeds
☁ FarmEngage – Farm Data That Actually Works
Trimble Ag Software FarmEngage
FarmEngage centralizes:
- Spray records
- Field boundaries
- Prescription maps
- Machine synchronization
- Compliance documentation
For specialty crops, documentation matters.
We’ll show how to:
✔ Sync boundaries across multiple tractors
✔ Manage seasonal staff logins
✔ Store spray documentation
✔ Track job history
💧 Water Management & Surface Solutions
In high-value vegetable fields and orchards, water control impacts:
- Root health
- Disease pressure
- Uniform crop emergence
- Long-term soil structure
We will discuss:
✔ GNSS-controlled land forming
✔ Controlled slope planning
✔ Surface drainage design
✔ Precision water flow planning
