MEDIA RELEASE | CROPLANDS AND SPRAYER SERVICES STRENGTHEN CUSTOMER SUPPORT NETWORK ACROSS KEY HORTICULTURAL REGIONS
Croplands Equipment is pleased to announce the appointment of Sprayer Services Pty Ltd as its new authorised service agent across three of Australia's key horticultural regions: Riverina (NSW), Sunraysia (VIC) and Riverland (SA).
Sprayer Services Pty Ltd is a newly established joint venture between two highly respected regional businesses, Cowanna Almond Harvesting and Huddo's Diesel Services, bringing together decades of agricultural service expertise, technical capability and customer-focused support.
The new venture is led by Neale and Debbie Bennett, owners of Cowanna Almond Harvesting, and Daniel and Jade Hudson, owners of Huddo's Diesel Services.
Sprayer Services will operate from existing facilities in Griffith, New South Wales, and Merbein, Victoria, ensuring immediate coverage across the Riverina and Sunraysia regions. A new branch servicing the Riverland region is planned for Loxton, South Australia, with operations expected to commence in late 2026.
The partnership marks another significant milestone following Croplands' exclusive distribution agreement for the renowned Nelson Hardie sprayer range, ensuring customers have access to industry-leading product sales, service and technical support throughout the life of their equipment.
Sprayer Services will specialise in the delivery, installation, servicing and repair of select Croplands sprayers, including the Nelson Hardie range, while also providing warranty support and ongoing postsales assistance.
Croplands Commercial Manager Sean Mulvaney said the new appointment reinforced the company's commitment to providing best-in-class customer support.
"At Croplands, we understand that exceptional after-sales support is just as important as delivering industry-leading equipment," Mulvaney said.
"The formation of Sprayer Services and the opportunity to work with them provides our customers access to an experienced, highly respected and dedicated support network across three of Australia's most important horticultural regions.”
Mulvaney said the new venture completed a critical piece of the Croplands and Nelson Hardie support framework.
"With our distribution partnership for the Nelson Hardie range already established, the addition of Sprayer Services completes the service structure required to deliver the level of product support our customers expect. From commissioning and installation through to warranty, servicing and repairs, growers can have
confidence that expert support is nearby."
Both Cowanna Almond Harvesting, Spare Parts and Service Almond Harvesting and Huddo’s Diesel Service will continue operating their existing businesses.
Together, the businesses bring more than 30 years of trusted customer relationships and industry experience across key horticulture regions in Australia.
On behalf of Sprayer Services Pty Ltd, Neale Bennett said the new venture represented an exciting opportunity to further support horticultural growers.
"We're proud to partner with Croplands and help deliver the specialist support customers need to maximise the performance and reliability of their sprayers," he said.
"Our combined experience, local presence and commitment to customer service make Sprayer Services uniquely positioned to support growers across Riverina, Sunraysia and Riverland for years to come."
