Thunderstruck Ag Expands Product Portfolio In North America
Thunderstruck Ag announced that FertiSystems fertilizer metering and monitoring products are now available in North America. The launch marks the first time the system has been offered to growers in the region, following its use in some of the world’s most demanding agricultural environments.
According to the company, the expansion aligns with its strategy to introduce field-tested solutions that improve operational accuracy and consistency during fertilizer application at seeding.
Addressing Fertilizer Inefficiency During Seeding
Fertilizer inefficiency remains a significant cost factor in crop production, often resulting from inconsistent metering, missed rows, or blockages that go unnoticed until yield losses occur. Thunderstruck Ag stated that the FertiSystems platform is designed to address these issues by combining precision metering with real-time flow detection.
The system provides operators with immediate visibility into fertilizer flow, enabling faster response to skips, blockages, or uneven application and helping maintain uniform fertilizer distribution across every acre.
Jeremy Matuszewski, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Thunderstruck Ag, said bringing FertiSystems to North America reflects the company’s focus on delivering practical tools that improve on-farm outcomes. He noted that the system offers operators greater control, consistency, and return on fertilizer investment.
Core Components Of The FertiSystems Platform
Auto-Lub AP NG Fertilizer Metering Unit
At the center of the product line is the Auto-Lub AP NG Fertilizer Metering Unit, engineered for consistent output and durability. Thunderstruck Ag said the unit’s auto-lubricating design reduces wear and maintenance requirements, while heavy-duty construction supports operation with abrasive fertilizer blends.
The modular design allows operators to purchase complete units or service individual components over time, supporting flexibility and long-term maintenance planning.
Fert Sensor + AT 200 Display
Complementing the metering unit is the Fert Sensor paired with the AT 200 Display, which provides live, row-by-row flow monitoring. The display enables operators to quickly detect blockages, buildup, or inconsistencies during operation.
According to the company, the interface is designed to deliver actionable information without adding complexity or distraction in the cab, helping reduce downtime and protect fertilizer inputs.
FertiSystems Market Impact And Commercial Outlook
With the introduction of FertiSystems, Thunderstruck Ag stated it is addressing a gap in the North American market for dependable fertilizer metering and monitoring solutions. The company emphasized that the platform is intended to improve application accuracy, protect input investments, and provide real-time control during seeding operations.
Thunderstruck Ag indicated that the availability of FertiSystems in North America supports its broader goal of equipping growers and operators with reliable, field-proven tools that enhance performance and consistency across diverse cropping systems.
