Mechanic turned agronomist joins MagrowTec

MagrowTec has bolstered its footprint across northern New South Wales and Queensland with the appointment of experienced agronomist Dan Gall as territory manager.

Based in Goondiwindi, Mr Gall brings 18 years of agronomy experience to the role, along with a strong technical skillset shaped by his early career as a diesel mechanic.

His practical understanding of farm machinery, combined with extensive time in broadacre agronomy, has given him firsthand insight into the challenges growers face, particularly concerning spray drift.

“Drift is massive for growers and in cotton, 2,4-D drift is a big issue. Working in broadacre agronomy, I’d hear the same concerns over and over,” Dan said.

“With more dryland cotton going in, growers are trying to control fleabane right next to cotton crops and it’s almost impossible without the risk of drift.”

Mr Gall said MagrowTec’s patented droplet control technology stood out as a practical and effective solution to these challenges, and he is eager to work with producers across a range of industries.

“I’m looking forward to meeting growers across different sectors, from horticulture to sugarcane, and understanding their challenges,” he said.

MagrowTec sales director for Australia and New Zealand, James Turtle, said the appointment would enhance the company’s ability to deliver tailored, on-the-ground support to growers across the region.

“Dan understands both the machinery and the management decisions behind every spray pass. That makes him the right person to help growers reduce drift, improve efficacy and get the most out of their applications,” he said.

“We’re so happy to welcome Dan to the team as we continue to expand our presence across Northern NSW and Queensland.”
