First Greeneye Technology Dealership Opens in Nebraska: What It Means for Distribution
Editor’s note: In a recent issue of Upstream Ag Professional, agribusiness analyst Shane Thomas weighs in on Greeneye Technology’s announcement to open its first dedicated dealership in Nebraska and what it means for market access going forward. Here’s a summary of that article:
Greeneye Technology has opened its first dedicated dealership in partnership with Boeck Seed Services in Nebraska, marking a significant step in their U.S. expansion strategy. This dealership will offer sales, installation, and service to farmers in Nebraska and neighboring states, and is the first in a planned national network. This development addresses a key challenge previously highlighted by industry observers: distribution.
Initially, Greeneye’s CEO, Nadav Bocher, had indicated that the primary market channels would be ag retailers and Farmers Business Network (FBN). However, there was skepticism about this approach, with concerns that it might not provide rapid uptake or optimal market access for a machinery retrofit company.
In April 2024, the company raised $20 million to scale its U.S. operations, with a focus on improving distribution through large dealerships. The new partnership with Boeck Seed Services, although not a traditional equipment dealership, meets several critical needs for Greeneye. Boeck offers market access with sales staff, local customer support, and installation services for the Greeneye system on sprayers.

Additionally, Boeck supports FBN products and services, maintaining a comprehensive program with Greeneye that includes installation, machine service, and agronomic product support, along with competitive financing options. This collaboration indicates that FBN can indeed provide a viable distribution route, contrary to previous concerns about its capacity to support equipment.
The new dealership is expected to build farmer confidence through local support and service, which is crucial for Greeneye’s market penetration. As Greeneye continues to announce new dealerships, it will be interesting to observe how their distribution network evolves and whether they partner with more entities similar to Boeck Seed Services to further their reach.
