AGCO is taking a retrofit first approach to autonomy and its tech stack. The OEM is designing technology that will fit farmers’ operations, which often include a mixed fleet and the need to improve efficiency without buying a brand new machine.

In this episode of the Precision Farming Dealer podcast, Seth Crawford, AGCO’s senior vice president and general manager of precision ag and digital, talks through AGCO’s retrofit-first strategy, its tech stack, its moves to add onto its autonomous capabilities and much more.

AGCO announced it has entered into a proof of concept (PoC) collaboration agreement with Robert Bosch GmbH, BASF Digital Farming and Raven Industries Inc., with the objective of evaluating targeted spraying technology to make the application of crop protection products more effective and efficient by reducing crop input costs while driving farm and environmental sustainability.
