Every day, farm tractors and implements are connected together and the electrical connectors are engaged. In the cab, the terminal comes alive with information about all the connected systems. Very interesting technology, but how does it all happen?

It’s said that if it’s not written down, it’s not a plan. For 21st Century Equipment, planning is an essential part of the 16-store dealership’s business growth strategy, especially on the precision side.

In a market offering so many different tractors and implements, how can you make the right choice? Now more than ever, when considering the precision farming functions, it can be a critical part of the buying decision.

The AEF ISOBUS Database has been developed as an online resource for dealers, manufacturers and the public to help understand the compatibility of agricultural products currently on the market.

Picture this scenario: a manufacturer makes a tractor. A farmer feels it’s perfect for him, and he buys it. Then, he needs an implement for his tractor. He finds a brand he likes from a different manufacturer, and he buys it. Then, he buys his favorite display from another manufacturer. Sounds fine, right? Sure, except if the products aren’t compatible with each other, they won’t work together at all.

Change is going to be survival, says Arlin Sorensen, founder of HTS Ag, an independent precision farming dealership in Harlan, Iowa.

AGuru Machinery announces their launch to the public, after 3 years of research and development to prepare. AGuru Machinery is a group of soil, seed and equipment professionals who have come together to do strip-till, better. Our mission is to Eliminate Compromise with Ingenuity, focused on strip-till practices and equipment.

Talking with precision dealers throughout North America, and overseas, the consensus is that they’ve accepted the changes to communicating with customers, sourcing parts and collaborating with employees.
