At Manitoba Ag Days earlier this year, Setter Manufacturing took first prize in the Farm Safety category for its Sprayer Companion invention.
“The Spray Companion is probably the safest loading device in the industry for loading on high-clearance sprayers or any sprayers that you might have on the farm,” says Greg Setter, president of Setter Manufacturing.

In Setter’s words, a secondary load system on the side of the Companion allows the operator to load chemicals more safely so there is no contact with it whatsoever. Herbicides or pesticides are instantly added into the sprayer system so operators won’t have to touch it, see it or smell it.
