Tyson Foods to Host AgCareers HR Roundtable

Tyson Foods is excited to be hosting AgCareer’s 2012 North American Ag & Food HR Roundtable at their headquarters in Springdale, Ar. The event is right around the corner on Aug. 7-9, but it’s not too late to add it to your calendar. Rashad Delph, Director of Recruiting with Tyson Foods, was able to talk with Cindy about their involvement and preparations with the upcoming festivities.

“We’re hosting this event because it’s never been hosted in the southern region and were happy to support the 10th anniversary of the Roundtable and the partnership we have had with AgCareers over the past six or seven years. We thought it would be a great opportunity to kind of kick off something a little bit different compared to the Roundtables that have been hosted in the Midwest.”

“I don’t think its been hosted at a corporation in awhile. I think we will bring a new flavor so different people in the industry can see Tyson Foods. They will get to see our pilot plant, our discovery center and learn a little about our processing of beef, pork and chicken.”

“We have had a great partnership and have attended numerous AgCareers events. We use their services a lot for job postings and work with their college relations division as well.”

For more information about the event go to AgCareers.com, where you can find out how to get registered along with a detailed schedule for the event.

Air Command Section Control for Pro-Force Spreaders

Video: Air Command Section Control for Pro-Force Spreaders


This patented section control system uses air to divert material on to different areas of the spinner disks for precise 4-section control, for an economical design by eliminating the need for added conveyor belts or movable spreader components. The section control uses the Raven RCM ISOBUS controller and a customer’s field boundary and coverage map to automatically turn off any of the four sections at any time to avoid applying valuable fertilizer in areas where it’s not needed.

This results in fertilizer savings which means more money in your pocket for a maximum Return On Investment. The powerful blower fan sends air through a 4-section manifold while the conveyor automatically speeds up or slows down as sections are turned on or off for consistent and precise fertilizer application.

• The revolutionary patented Air Command section control utilizes a pneumatic system to accurately place fertilizer onto the spinner disks to give you individualized 4-section control of your spread pattern.

• Pinpoint accuracy of four individual sections allows you to operate the system with ease. This robust design with few moving parts offers no gimmicks, just real-world results.

• The new Air Command section control option is available on pull-type models 2250 and 1850 with the new PTO drive system, and on 1450, 1250 and 1050 pull-type models with standard single hydraulics.

• Continue to do it all with the Unverferth pull-type Pro-Force Spreader. Use the Air Command section control for spreading fertilizer and in-seeding applications, while converting to single-section lime or litter application in a matter of minute
