Oxbo Announces Exclusive Dealer Partnership with Allan Equipment

Oxbo, a leader in specialty agricultural equipment manufacturing, and Canadian based Allan Equipment, a prominent manufacturer of specialized potato equipment, are pleased to announce an exclusive dealer agreement aimed at accelerating innovation and meeting customer demand in the global potato market.

Under this partnership, Oxbo will sell and service Allan’s proprietary equipment and technology across most U.S. states and selected Canadian markets. The product portfolio includes Allan’s newly developed, innovative potato planter, as well as its high-performance windrowers, pulltype harvesters, pilers, and bulk carts. Allan will benefit from Oxbo’s strong reputation and extensive network of sales and service locations, helping both companies reach new customers and expand market presence.

Allan recently introduced a revolutionary, true-precision potato planter that maximizes farms’ seed spacing accuracy, seed depth, and seed population. Engineered for precision and built for performance, it offers a new level of versatility to modern farming operations. This makes it a powerful complement to Oxbo’s self-propelled potato harvester, which was designed to meet today’s grower expectations for capacity, efficiency, and reliability. Together, the two technologies offer a fully integrated solution from planting to harvest.

Introduction to Crop Scouting

Video: Summer Crop Scouting MN Farm!

Crop scouting is a vital part of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), helping identify pests, optimize input use, and protect yields. Scouts act as the grower’s field observers, offering timely insights.

In this webinar, Liz Gartman, UW–Madison Extension regional crops educator, provides an introduction to crop scouting, covering everything from pre-field preparation to in-field tools, resources, and best practices.

Preparation includes understanding field history, gathering tools, and setting communication expectations. In the field, scouts assess plant health, pest presence, and environmental stress using systematic patterns. Accurate documentation and clear reporting are essential. Tools like soil surveys, weather data, and pest calendars support decision-making. Ultimately, crop scouting builds trust, supports sustainability, and ensures informed, timely responses to field conditions.
