Using accurate weighing equipment, farmers can measure and analyze the overall productivity of their farm through the measurement and analysis of harvested crops, dairy, and meat products. Our range of floor, deck, and drum weighing scales are ideal for weighing bulk products and inventory, while bench scales can be used to weigh and label goods for onward sale to consumers.
Overview
Agriculture is a major industry in the United States, with agricultural land making up around 45% of the country’s total land mass. As an expansive industry, it is vital that US farms work as efficiently as possible to maximize yield, efficiency, and income. Whether tracking arable yields, managing feed ingredients and livestock performance, or trading in raw agricultural produce, weighing is critical to your bottom line.
Platform scales, truck scales, and weigh-bars from Avery Weigh-Tronix are tough enough to deliver accuracy in the agricultural and farming industry. They collect this vital information accurately, at every step of the way, without slowing down your operation. Additional products for agriculture and on-farm applications can be found on our specialist Ag Scales website.
By accurately weighing harvested crops or livestock feed, farmers can maintain accurate records of available stock. This information can help prevent overstocking or stock-outs, and ensure efficient supply chain management. Weight data can also be used to measure and analyse the moisture content of stored crops, allowing farm managers to determine the best storage and processing methods.
Whether your farm is dairy, livestock, poultry, grains, or fruits, ensuring you have the right nutrient balance can help to maximise efficiency and yield. Using accurate weighing equipment, such as floor and bench scales, in any farming operation can improve yield and management – from ensuring animals get the right nutrients from their feed, to preventing over- or under-use of crop fertilizers.
Our industry leading technology, the Avery Weigh-Tronix Weigh Bar, was born on the farm and is specifically designed to withstand the tough conditions of the farm environment. The Weigh Bar is machined from high quality alloy steel and sealed to protect against rain, snow, dust, and mud. Weigh bars can be added to a range of farming equipment, including tanks, hoppers, and silos, and is unmatched in terms of accuracy, reliability, and performance under difficult agricultural conditions.
When downtime is not an option, Avery Weigh-Tronix scales are the perfect solution. When dealing with large quantities of ingredients, or shipping finished goods, reliability is key. We provide a range of scales suitable for use on farms, from truck scales, platform and floor scales, to checkweighers and washdown scales. Weighing equipment from Avery Weigh-Tronix is tough enough to perform efficiently in the farming industry, collecting vital information accurately at every step of the way without slowing down your operation.
Many farming and agricultural operations are subject to regulatory standards that govern product weight and labelling. Any products bought or sold by weight must be weighed on accurate trade-approved scales to comply with trading standards.
