Understanding the Pieces of the Precision Agriculture Puzzle can Lead to Better Profits

Farmer Panel will Share Successes & Lessons Learned

2017 marks the 4th year that Farms.com has held the Precision Agriculture Conference and Ag Technology Showcase.  For Farms.com Executive Vice President Joe Dales, this year’s conference theme was an obvious decision.

“During the summer and fall of 2016, as I spoke with ag technology businesses and precision farmers, I kept getting the sense that it’s now all about fitting the pieces together, to complete the precision puzzle,” says Dales.

“There are so many exciting new tools available, now the task at hand is for all of us in production agriculture to work together and integrate them together, so that it benefits the farmer by saving time, money and increasing yields. The machinery, software, data and agronomy pieces need to fit together well to help us realize the full potential of these innovations.”

One of the highlights of the yearly Precision Agriculture Conference, is the Farmer Panel this year entitled, Sharing Successes & Lessons Learned.  The Farmer Panel will take place on the second day of the conference on Wednesday, February 1, 2017 at 1:30pm. This year the panel will include:
