We’ve all been in a situation at a party, conference or even a meeting where we’re asked, “So, what do you do?” It’s the simplest of questions that somehow seems to bring out the most complex of answers.
Todd Janzen sees the new ag technology firms making mistakes because they assume farming is just like any other business. Farming is different. Here is his list of 5 things every Silicon Valley startup should known about Midwestern farmers.
Diversification is an en vogue term when it comes to dealers’ approach to developing a broad base of precision farming services. As more look beyond the shelves stocked with technology components to find recurring sources of revenue, agronomic and data management services are highly visible options to build around.
Installing new precision components on older farm equipment is a valuable source of revenue for Nathan Zimmerman, precision farming manager with A.C. McCartney Equipment in Wataga, Ill., who says, “if it has a steering wheel, we can do it.”
Precision Farming Dealer interviewed 5 farmers from across North America and asked them: "How is your dealer providing precision training/education to customers and what areas could it improve to increase the return on your technology investment?"
Despite, or perhaps in part because of the ongoing downturn in the ag market, dealers continue to pursue alternative, sustainable sources of precision revenue to compensate for declining or stagnating hardware sales.
Seeking more efficiency and enhanced customer service, Matt Miller, technology specialist with Butler Ag Equipment in Fremont, Neb., shares the benefits of the dealership's recent reallocation of precision resources.
During a recent trip to Nebraska, I had the opportunity to visit with a precision specialist at one of 3 dealerships all located a stone’s throw from each other. He acknowledged that with primary competitors in such close proximity, it’s critical to have an organized and targeted marketing plan.
