Precision Farming Dealer technology editor Noah Newman noted during remarks that attendees cited the short- and long-term value they draw from Summit discussions and exchanges with precision dealers of different sizes and locations.
"Attendees enjoyed hearing different perspectives from a diverse group of speakers on new technology, autonomy, service stress alleviation, training, customer clinics, farmer’s needs, OEM vision, burnout prevention and more,” says Newman.
