Meet Scott!
General Manager, Kenmare

For Scott Heidel, agriculture and Gooseneck Implement have always been at the center of his story. His journey began in 1987 working for a local farmer, and after a few years living in Arizona, he returned home to Kenmare in 1992—where his Gooseneck career officially started. Scott began as a Service Technician before stepping into the role of Service Manager, a position he held for over a decade. From there, he transitioned into sales and then became General Manager in Mohall from 2007 to 2022. After three years back in sales, Scott has returned to his roots as the General Manager in Kenmare. Having experienced nearly every side of the business, he brings a deep understanding of what it takes to serve both customers and employees with care and consistency.


To Scott, Genuine Passion means staying engaged and treating people the way they want to be treated—whether that’s a teammate, a customer, or someone in the community. He believes in setting expectations, thinking things through, and not being afraid to try new approaches in order to learn and grow.


Genuine Gratitude, he says, shows up in how the Kenmare team takes care of people every day. From simply saying “thank you” to providing service that adds real value, it’s about recognizing that without their customers, none of what they do would be possible.


Born and raised in Kenmare, Scott takes great pride in his community and the people who make it special. He enjoys seeing his team work together to help customers succeed—and says that when you love what you do, it doesn’t feel like work.


Something people might be surprised to learn about Scott? He’s been a certified basketball official for 25 years and is the proud grandfather of nine grandchildren. And if he weren’t in the ag equipment world, he says he’d still be working with people—likely in sales or back in the aviation industry, where he once worked as an airplane mechanic.



Scott looks forward to the years ahead, helping his team and customers continue to grow with Gooseneck Implement. For him, being part of the “One Goose” family means taking care of customers as a team and ensuring everyone—employees and farmers alike—can succeed together.

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.
