From the sales side, I watched precision ag move from a “nice to have” to a “must have.” And now, as a full-time farmer, I can’t imagine doing it any other way.
Now, precision agriculture is gaining traction. Instead of just being more sustainable, precision farming is now seen as an efficiency driver that adds economic value.
The AEF has developed a software component they call the “common connector.” Available now, the standardized connector manages the network APIs, the set up, and the participants in the network, allowing visible peer-to-peer connections to all other participants in the network, and improving interoperability.
More and more sensors, software, and data are helping both man and machine make smarter farming decisions. Now, to fully capitalize on the benefits a “smart farming operation” has to offer, complete equipment interoperability is a necessity.
A few years ago, I was chatting with an Illinois farmer about how he used precision technologies, such as yield monitors and auto-steer. After a few minutes, he looked at me and asked, “How else would you farm?” Maybe, in the 2040’s, the conversation will focus on data; how to acquire and analyze it.
45Z brings a lot of promises to midwestern corn farmers, but it also brings a lot of unanswered questions about what ag data is necessary to verify compliance and how such data will be used.
This integration automates the transfer of data from CNH machinery to CropX for data visualization, record-keeping, planning, and variable-rate applications.
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.
