Meet Jamie!
General Manager, Stanley

Jamie Germundson’s journey in agriculture and with Gooseneck Implement is deeply rooted in both experience and hometown pride. After attending the John Deere Ag Tech Program in Wahpeton, Jamie returned to western North Dakota—close to where he grew up in Tioga—drawn back by a career that connected his love for farming, working with equipment, and supporting the agriculture industry. With more than 30 years in the business, Jamie spent five years as a Service Technician before stepping into a Service Manager role, a position he held for many years. Today, he brings that extensive hands-on knowledge and leadership experience into his new role as General Manager.


To Jamie, Genuine Passion means seeing success on all sides—customers staying productive in the field and teammates growing in their roles. He takes pride in watching people develop and accomplish goals, knowing that when the team succeeds, customers do too. That passion pairs naturally with Genuine Gratitude, which he sees in the relationships built over time—whether it’s a humbling call or text from a customer thanking the team or appreciation for employees who make it all happen. Jamie values these moments, knowing his team’s dedication makes his job both easier and more rewarding.


What makes Jamie most proud of the Stanley location is the people. He values seeing individuals choose to stay, grow, and build long-term careers, while working together to support customers through every season. The teamwork and shared commitment to customer success are what make the Stanley store strong.


Working with Gooseneck customers is especially meaningful for Jamie because of the relationships formed along the way. He enjoys watching how operations evolve and adapting alongside customers to help them succeed year after year.


Something people might be surprised to learn about Jamie? If he ever wins the lottery, one thing he’d like to buy is an airplane. Guess we’ll all be watching the skies around Stanley just in case. And if he weren’t in the ag equipment world, he could easily picture himself teaching—possibly as an ag instructor or shop teacher—sharing knowledge and helping the next generation learn hands-on skills.


As General Manager, Jamie is still firmly committed to delivering a high-level customer experience in Stanley. His focus is on reassurance, trust, and making sure every customer knows they’re supported by a team that truly cares.

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.
