Cody Erman, a Lethbridge College-trained apprentice, has won Agco’s 2022 North American Technician of the Year award and $5,000 after a test of skills over three days against four other top technicians.
Erman works at Hanlon Ag Centre in Lethbridge. He completed his parts technician apprenticeship in 2013 and heavy equipment technician in 2018.
In early March, he and technicians nominated by Agco dealerships from Manitoba, California, Idaho and South Dakota travelled to Hesston, Kansas, where they were tasked with diagnosing and repairing six different machines. They had just 2.5 hours per machine.
