Operator of the Year

Congratulations to the 2021 Operator of the Year: Kolby Watson

Difficult or tedious applications? That’s pretty much Kolby Watson’s specialty. You can find him and his Rogator 1100B or Terragator 8400B anywhere from Townsend, MT to Victor, ID to Alta, WY. New technology and evolving crops mean that Kolby is always rising to the challenge, taking the regional Certified Crop Advisor test in February 2021. He’s also planning to take the international Certified Crop Advisor test this coming winter. When not seated in the cab of his applicator, you can find Kolby in the field pulling tissue samples, scouting crops, soil sampling, and following up with his customers.

Congratulations to the other two finalists: Bill Bata from Adams, North Dakota and Brady Jones from Lindsay, Ontario
