Equipment Technologies, manufacturer of Apache Sprayers, presented Simpson Farm Enterprises (SFE) with the prestigious Dealer of the Year award during its annual Dealer Meeting—marking the ninth time SFE has earned the honor.
This award recognizes the dealership that not only leads in new Apache Sprayer sales but also upholds outstanding customer service standards. Simpson Farm Enterprises, with locations across Kansas including Great Bend, continues to set the bar for excellence in both performance and customer satisfaction.
In a historic moment at this year’s meeting, SFE was also presented with the inaugural Jim Bates Legacy Award, honoring dealerships that have sold over 1,000 new Apache Sprayers. As of June 30, 2025, SFE has delivered a remarkable 1,040 sprayers since joining the Apache Sprayer network 28 years ago.
Adding to the celebration, Equipment Technologies recognized top salesmen Jason Pavlu and Clayton Schenk, both of whom ranked in the Top 5 Apache Certified Expert (ACE) category for the past model year. Their leadership and dedication continue to drive the dealership's strong sales performance.
“Simpson Farm Enterprises is a vital part of the Apache Sprayer family,” said a representative from Equipment Technologies. “We take great pride in this partnership and look forward to many more years of shared success.”
