For Tumby Bay farmer Lenny Lebrun, switching to Bourgault wasn’t just a machinery upgrade; it was a practical decision driven by time, cost, and reliability. Since 2020, Lenny has been running the family’s winter-cropping program, producing wheat, barley, canola, and faba beans.
After spending time working away from the farm earlier in his career, Lenny values machinery that is dependable and efficient. When his previous seeding bar began requiring more maintenance and causing downtime, it prompted a reassessment of his setup.
Lenny had been using an older seeding system, a machine with some advantages, but ultimately too labour-intensive for a modern, time-sensitive farming program.
“I liked the benefits it offered,” Lenny says. “But the maintenance, the cost, and the constant adjustments were eating up too much of our time. The breakdowns were just too much.”
When he took over the farm, Lenny made the decision to move to Bourgault, seeking a system that delivered consistency without the constant upkeep.
Service That Makes a Difference
Bourgault’s support has been a key part of Lenny’s experience.
“The team at Bourgault, including SA Territory Manager Luke and Operations Manager Mark, have been excellent. Their guidance and support have made setting up and operating the machinery straightforward and efficient.”
Lenny values the hands-on support he receives directly from the team.
“They’re easy to deal with, very responsive, and always ready to help us get everything set up smoothly.”
Confidence for the Future
For Lenny, switching to Bourgault hasn’t just been a machinery upgrade; it’s been a boost in reliability, performance, and confidence for every season ahead.
