TAKE TOTAL COMMAND AND CONTROL.

Controls enable the user to deliver the exact amount of seed to the scale hopper in a very controlled and efficient manner. Automation controls need to be simple enough to allow multiple people to use them easily. Seedpoint can outline the differences and help explain the features and benefits of different control packages so that you can select the package that best suits your site and situation.
