Autonomous machinery still struggles in the field

Changing field terrain is a challenge for autonomous equipment. The University of Manitoba is looking at these farm-specific obstacles to adopting autonomy.

Mazergroup spans 18 sites in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, dealing mainly in New Holland products. Butler has worked for some iteration of the company since 1997, when it was known as Mazer Implements.

He previously served as a director of the Canada West Equipment Dealer Association and Western Equipment Dealership Association board from 2008 to 2020. His roles with the latter organization included chair of the audit committee, president and past president.

The other Canadian representative on NAEDA’s 13-member board is Landis Stankievech, business manager for Trochu Motors, an Agco, Versatile and Kubota dealer in Trochu, Alta.
