Jim Vinoski breaks down the joint venture between AGCO and Trimble in this Forbes article. “When it comes to Trimble, for the last 30-plus years it’s the only other company that addressed precision ag for both mixed fleet and OEMs,” says Eric Hansotia, AGCO chairman, president and CEO. “We’re the only two companies that thought about the market that way, so this is a great DNA fit. We have almost no redundancy. They’re focused on guidance and steering, while we’re focused on adjustments on the go, things like planters and fertilizers.”
