NMI and Kelly Tillage have joined hands to bring world-class tillage solutions to South African farmers. Kelly Tillage, a family business with a deep commitment to community values, has a rich history dating back to its inception on the Kelly family farm in South Australia.
The company’s primary focus lies in soil health, and they have developed innovative tools to manage and improve soil quality while minimizing disruption to the land.
Shane Kelly, Executive Director of R&D and New Market Development at Kelly Tillage, emphasizes the importance of sustainable agriculture, which includes enhancing soil structure and productivity, increasing soil carbon, optimizing soil moisture utilization, implementing integrated weed management, and improving economic margins.
One of the star products from Kelly Tillage is the Kelly 3009 Diamond harrow, which offers numerous benefits to farmers. This harrow excels in stubble and residue management, efficiently returning carbon to the soil, and enhancing soil health and moisture.
It also contributes to better plant production, effective seedbed preparation, higher germination rates, and improved crop establishment, ultimately leading to higher yield production.
Additionally, the harrow’s various blade options play a pivotal role in weed management and control, reducing the need for herbicides and pesticides and offering significant cost savings for farmers.
The Kelly Diamond Harrow caught the attention of many farmers at NAMPO, a prominent agricultural exhibition in South Africa, where Kelly Tillage equipment has been well-known for the past seven years. With a solid reputation and growing interest in their products, the collaboration with NMI marks an exciting new chapter for Kelly Tillage.
Shane expresses enthusiasm about the partnership with NMI, as it opens up distribution opportunities in Southern Africa, particularly in South Africa.
This collaboration enables farmers across the country to access cutting-edge technology while benefiting from local service and support provided by NMI’s team and dealers.
As they celebrate this new relationship, Shane looks forward to the continued success and positive impact of Kelly Tillage’s solutions on the agricultural sector in South Africa.
With a shared commitment to sustainable practices and soil health, NMI and Kelly Tillage are set to empower farmers and elevate agricultural practices to new heights.
