We saw a lot of great stuff here at the Precision Farming Dealer Summit this week, and right now here in the Technology Corner, I want to highlight some very interesting stuff that Professor John Fulton from the Ohio State covered during one of his keynote presentations, just about some of the top takeaways that he saw recently at Agritechnica.
While the GPU and RAM shortage will likely affect precision farming tools, there’s the possibility that autonomous and precision tools shift to AI instead of this hardware.
I recently paid a visit to Precision Agri Services in Minster, Ohio, Precision Farming Dealer’s Most Valuable Dealership award recipient for 2026. The longtime Precision Planting dealer had a big year — adding Horsch equipment and new PTx Trimble tech to their arsenal.
We had a front-row seat to the launch of AEF’s Agricultural Interoperability Network (AgIN) at AGRITECHNICA a few weeks ago, which promises to ease the process of data sharing for farmers and dealers.
I tagged along with the precision crew at John Deere dealer Riesterer and Schnell in eastern Wisconsin last week. Among the several takeaways from the visit, they told me there’s one precision tool in particular that’s really paying off for farmers right now.
We had boots on the ground at the FIRA ag robotics conference in Woodland, Calif., a couple weeks ago. PFD associate editor Mackane Vogel caught up with Paul Welbig, director of precision technology for New Holland. Autonomy was a hot topic at the conference, and Welbig says it’s evolving quickly.
