Automation helps to ease labor shortage pains for Ag Valley Coop

The company has implemented a card reader system at scale houses in three Ag Valley locations, North Platte, Bartley and Edison, to reduce the labor involved in taking in grain. Upon entering an inbound or outbound scale, each grain truck driver scans their card without leaving the cab. The system records full and empty scale readings. It then couples the net weight with information about the partners and splits associated with the field being harvested.
