Vermeer Sells Minority Interest in Lely Vermeer Maschinenfabrik, Gmbh

Oct 04, 2016

From Vermeer News, www.vermeer.com

Vermeer Corporation, manufacturer of agricultural and industrial equipment, announced the sale of its minority interest in Lely Vermeer Maschinenfabrik, Gmbh to Lely Holding. The two companies have successfully collaborated on a number of projects over the last two decades, and this move will allow each organization to focus on their respective core markets.

“Lely and Vermeer have had a close working relationship since the mid-1980s. As the market changes, this is a natural evolution,” says Vermeer Executive Vice President and CMO, Mark Core. “For Vermeer, this means a continued, but elevated focus on delivering undeniable value and confidence to North American farmers and ranchers who rely on Vermeer for innovation in the round baler category, as well as the products that support them in the field.”

Moving forward, Lely will continue to be a key supplier for Vermeer.

Video: Dr. Emerson Nafziger: Nitrogen Fertilizer Rates for Corn

The Crop Science Podcast Show, Dr. Emerson Nafziger from the University of Illinois breaks down decades of nitrogen research. From the evolution of N rate guidelines to how soil health and hybrid genetics influence nitrogen use efficiency, this conversation unpacks the science behind smarter fertilization. Improving how we set nitrogen fertilizer rates for rainfed corn is a key focus. Discover why the MRTN model matters more than ever, and how shifting mindsets and better data can boost yields and environmental outcomes. Tune in now on all major platforms!

"The nitrogen that comes from soil mineralization is the first nitrogen the plant sees, and its role is underestimated."

Meet the guest:

Dr. Emerson Nafziger is Professor Emeritus of Crop Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, with degrees in agronomy from Ohio State, Purdue, and Illinois. His research has focused on nitrogen rate strategies and crop productivity. He co-developed the Maximum Return to Nitrogen (MRTN) model, which is widely used across the Midwest. His research spans N response trials, hybrid interactions, crop rotation effects, and yield stability.
