One farmer from New South Wales made a remark; “The Seed Hawk machine paid off within the first year of production and the Väderstad/Seed Hawk system gives me safe and stable emergence”. Another farmer claimed, it was his best move ever, to buy into the Väderstad range.
Crister Stark could also witness Seed Hawk’s and Rapid’s popularity in Australia and that other product families that are well establish on other markets, like Carrier and TopDown, are quickly gaining recognition.
