Meet Charlie!
Regional Sales Manager, Region 1

Charlie Bostyan’s Gooseneck journey began in May 2006, right after college, when he joined the Bowman store in AMS/Sales. Over the years, he built his career in sales, later stepping into the role of General Manager in Bowman for 8 years. Most recently, he served as Precision Upgrade Manager, helping locations work with customers to adapt the latest technology to their current equipment. Today, as Regional Sales Manager for Region 1, he oversees the Beach, Bowman, Elgin, Lemmon, Dickinson, Williston, and Stanley locations—supporting teams, driving sales, and ensuring customers across the region receive the best possible experience.


For him, Genuine Passion means knowing that each day is an opportunity to improve customer operations and to be part of teams that create real impact. He sees Genuine Gratitude shine through in both coworkers and customers—whether it’s teammates jumping in to lend a hand or customers showing appreciation when they’ve received an exceptional experience.


One of the things he’s most proud of is seeing the ongoing growth and improvements at Gooseneck locations. “It’s rewarding to be part of projects that enhance the work environment for employees and increase our ability to serve customers,” he says, reflecting on the positive impact these efforts bring.


What he enjoys most about working with Gooseneck customers is their diversity—the variety of crops, farming practices, and approaches to agriculture across the region. “Being able to work with the people who are producing the food for our world is an awesome thing to be a part of,” he shares.


When asked what he would do professionally if he weren’t in the agriculture industry, he said, “After college I didn’t realize how important being connected to agriculture was to me. Now, 20 years later, I couldn’t imagine working in a different industry.” Outside of work, he’s a proud dad to 7-year-old twin boys.

Harvest is busy enough without spending extra time creating work plans or correcting field information in the cab. That's why John Deere is introducing a new feature designed to make harvest setup easier and improve the quality of your documentation. Beginning August 3, John Deere Operations Center will automatically create harvest work plans for compatible machines using the seeding data already stored in your organization. How It Works Operations Center will use your spring seeding records to automatically generate harvest work plans and send them directly to compatible machines. If your seeding data is complete and accurate, those work plans will already include information like: · Client · Farm · Field · Crop type · Variety · Additional field information from your seeding records Instead of building harvest work plans manually, your operators can get to work with fewer button pushes in the cab and spend less time managing documentation throughout the season. Why This Matters Accurate spring data leads to accurate harvest records. When your seeding information is clean and organized, this new feature helps ensure your harvest documentation is just as accurate. That means: · Less setup time before harvest · Fewer manual entries in the cab · More accurate harvest documentation · Better records for reporting and future decision-making · Potentially less office work creating harvest work plans manually Is Your Operations Center Ready? This new feature is especially beneficial for operations that have maintained clean seeding data throughout the spring. If you're not completely confident in your Client, Farm, Field, varieties, or seeding records, now is a great time to get everything cleaned up before harvest begins. Post Seeding Maintenance Package Our Precision Ag team is offering a one-time Post Seeding Maintenance Package for $500 to help prepare your Operations Center for harvest. The package includes: · Operations Center Data Cleanup · Client, Farm, and Field organization cleanup · Review and correction of post-seeding data, including: o Varieties o Acres o Task dates o Other planting information · Boundary Creation (Upon Request) o Create or update field boundaries for improved documentation and mapping · FSA & Crop Insurance Reporting Binder (Upon Request) o Receive a complete binder containing: - Seeding dates - Varieties - Acres - Additional seeding information - True field boundaries that remove overlap and identify prevented seeding acres - Seeding coverage maps with field information Whether you're preparing for harvest or organizing records for reporting, this package helps ensure your data is accurate and ready when you need it. Want to Disable Automatic Work Plans? Organizations will have Automatic Harvest Work Plans enabled by default. If you prefer to continue creating harvest work plans manually, the feature can be turned off in your Organization Preferences before August 3.  While we expect most customers will benefit from having this feature enabled, it's helpful to know you have the option to manage this setting based on your operation's preferences. Need Help? If you'd like assistance reviewing your Operations Center data or would like to schedule a Post Seeding Maintenance appointment, contact your Gooseneck Implement Account Manager today. We'll help make sure your data is organized, accurate, and ready for harvest.
