Quality Training for Beginner Applicators

It's that time of year – planting is wrapping up! Asmark wants to help train your employees to be the best they can be at running an applicator.  Asmark’s beginner Applicator Course benefits those with anywhere from no experience to up to three years of experience.  It's a great place to start, or to fine tune skills.
 
The two lead instructors, Greg Yoder and Gary Cornell, are both seasoned professional applicators with over 75 years combined experience.  In addition to their professional applicator knowledge and skills, they are also familiar with the work environment and industry, so they include the importance of reputation and mannerism into their class.
 
During the course, each participant will test their skills by taking part in a Ride-N-Drive exercise, where they can experience real-life challenges on the mile long all-weather track, which includes a bridge, railroad crossing and a power line hazard - all in a safe and controlled environment.  The Ride-N-Drive fleet includes a TerraGator, John Deere, Case, Hagie, and a brand new 2022 RoGator that is supplied by AGCO from their latest series.

Registration is now open for July through September.  Seats tend to fill quickly for these classes, so don't miss your opportunity to register today.
