Lessiter Media's 4th annual Precision Specialist Week (August 16-22, 2026), sponsored by Reichhardt, celebrates and recognizes the hard work and dedication of those making today's precision farming systems possible. 

While employed by dealers, growers regard their precision farming specialists as an extension of their farm staff. They are called upon day and night to keep farms up and running, especially during the critical planting, spraying and harvesting seasons.

Growers, dealers and manufacturers shared stories of the following specialists who go above and beyond the call of duty to keep farming operations running. To celebrate the dedicated precision specialists making an impact in your area, submit a nomination at www.farm-equipment.com/psweek.
