Opico has appointed Joe Redman (pictured) as product specialist for its new range of trailed min-till and no-till drills that will be launched at Lamma 2016.
Mr Redman will be in charge of demonstrations and providing technical knowledge to support the Opico sales team after the launch of the two new Sky-Agriculture machines, the EasyDrill and the MaxiDrill. He will also provide support to the Opico dealer network, his role encompassing training dealers and operators how to use the drills, while setting up machines on-farm.
A farmer’s son, Mr Redman has machinery experience from working on farms in France and Australia, as well as the family farm in Bedfordshire. His first experience of direct drilling and cover cropping was while working in France and he’s an enthusiastic supporter of min-till and no-till cultivations.
“This is a great opportunity for Opico to provide much more than just a drill,” Opico’s managing director, James Woolway, said. “Joe’s technical product knowledge and expertise in min-till and no-till drilling techniques will prove invaluable to customers.”
