What We’re Showcasing at OFVC 2026

Precision Solutions Built for Ontario Fruit & Vegetable Growers

At OFVC 2026, GPS Ontario is focusing on the tools that directly impact:

• Spray accuracy
• Row alignment
• Labour efficiency
• Water management
• Long-term orchard & vineyard layout

🚜 PTX Trimble Guidance for Specialty Crops

PTX Trimble Guidance Systems

In orchards and vineyards, guidance isn’t about “nice straight lines.”

It’s about:

• Permanent row structure
• Spray repeatability
• Narrow row accuracy
• Reducing operator fatigue
• Avoiding drift in tight headlands

With RTK-level correction, growers can:

✔ Maintain permanent traffic lanes

✔ Re-enter the same rows season after season

✔ Improve sprayer alignment

✔ Reduce crop damage

If you’re still operating on WAAS or visual alignment, there’s measurable efficiency left on the table.

🍷 Advanced ISO Control for Vineyard Sprayers

PTX Trimble Advanced ISO

Vineyard spraying demands:

• Precise section control
• Accurate rate management
• Headland shutoff timing
• Reduced overlap in tight rows

Advanced ISO allows:

✔ True ISOBUS control directly through the GFX display

✔ Section control for multi-row sprayers

✔ Task controller logging

✔ Variable rate capability

✔ Reduced chemical waste

For vineyards where margins are tight and chemical costs are high — section control pays quickly.

☁ FarmEngage – Manage Your Data Properly

Trimble Ag Software FarmEngage

Fruit and vegetable growers often struggle with:

• Multiple field boundaries
• Seasonal labour turnover
• Inconsistent data capture
• Spray record documentation

FarmEngage helps you:

✔ Sync boundaries across machines

✔ Track spray jobs

✔ Store application records

✔ Manage prescription maps

✔ Simplify compliance documentation

If CFIA or buyers ask for documentation — are you prepared?

💧 Water Management Solutions

Precision water management is becoming critical in horticulture.

We’ll be discussing:

• Surface drainage guidance
• Laser & GNSS land forming
• Controlled slope development
• Water flow planning in vegetable fields
• Permanent row water design in orchards

Better water control means:

✔ Reduced root stress

✔ Improved uniformity

✔ Less ponding

✔ Better disease control

✔ More consistent crop performance
