2024 Precision Specialist Spotlight

Aug 14, 2024

Lessiter Media's 2nd annual Precision Specialist Week (August 11-17, 2024), sponsored by SurePoint Ag Systems, celebrates and recognizes the hard work and dedication of those making today's precision farming systems possible.

While employed by dealers, growers regard their precision farming specialists as an extension of their farm staff. They are called upon day and night to keep farms up and running, especially during the critical planting, spraying and harvesting seasons.

Growers, dealers and manufacturers shared stories of the following specialists who go above and beyond the call of duty to keep farming operations running. To celebrate the dedicated precision specialists making an impact in your area, submit a nomination at www.farm-equipment.com/psweek.
