Smart Apply Adds Kern Machinery As a Dealer, Expanding Presence in California’s San Joaquin Valley
December 14, 2022 Smart Apply, makers of Intelligent Spray Control System that helps growers of high value crops reduce chemical and water use, minimize environmental impact and captures and analyzes critical data while spraying, today announced that California equipment dealer, Kern Machinery, is now an authorized Smart Apply dealer.
Kern Machinery, a four-generation, family-owned John Deere-certified dealer since 1969, has four locations in the San Joaquin Valley, a region that produces 12.8 percent of California’s agricultural output. This includes grapes (wine, table, raisins), nuts, citrus, and other tree fruits. Kern Machinery has stores in Bakersfield, Buttonwillow, Delano, and Lancaster. Smart Apply’s dealer network now includes more than 300 locations in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Peru, and South Africa.
Smart Apply CEO Jerry Johnson personally welcomed the new dealer. “We’re extremely pleased to be represented by Kern Machinery, a dealer that has earned the business and respect of growers in the San Joaquin Valley for more than 60 years. Growers in California are facing powerful headwinds in the form of rising chemical, fuel and labor costs; regulatory pressure to reduce and document water use; and the need to adopt more sustainable agriculture practices. Adding the Smart Apply System, which combines precision spraying with precision data capture and analysis, to its offerings is a huge win for Kern Machinery and its customers.”
Added Johnson, “Agtech solutions like Smart Apply that combine equipment and data analytics capabilities are the future, making it easier to reduce dependence on chemicals and water while supporting healthy yields to feed the world sustainably. We look forward to a fruitful partnership with Kern.”
