Technology training — both internal and external — can hold as much earning potential as it can headaches. But employee and customer training are essential investments for precision growth during the next 5 years, with more than 98% of dealers citing these areas as priorities in the 2017 Precision Farming Dealer Benchmark Study.
Farmwave founder and CEO Craig Ganssle says there’s been a lot of “over-promise and under-deliver” in ag technology. But that hasn’t been the case with his company’s autonomous harvest loss technology, and he has the results to prove it. The multi-camera system counts grain loss in real time and customers who use it are seeing an increase of 3-8 bushels per acre in corn and soybeans.
