Summer is typically a prime timeframe for precision salespeople to engage customers on future purchasing decisions.

But with many regions dealing with delayed planting this spring, precision specialists have perhaps put off having conversations with customers about technology additions or upgrades.

Given the circumstances farmers are facing with late-emerging crops, there may be different in-season selling opportunities for dealers, particularly on the agronomic side, says George Russell, founder of the Machinery Advisors Consortium.

Aerial scouting, in-field sensing and agronomic services are among the technologies he cites as having growth potential as farmers look for ways to more efficiently manage their crops toward a profitable harvest.   

In today’s Precision Farming Dealer podcast, we share excerpts from our conversation with George, which highlighted a few of the short-term opportunities and why the current market could also force some dealers out of their comfort zone, based on customer demand for in-season services.
