InfoAg 2017 will feature a diverse blend of precision farming topics, highlighted by practical discussions on how the Internet of Things (IoT) is reshaping agriculture.

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Dale Locken announced that he plans to retire from Wheat Growers.

There’s just no winning with weeds. If we don’t kill them, they’ll choke out our crops and devastate yields. In earlier days, we removed them by labor intensive hoeing and cultivating. More recently we started spraying herbicides to control them. Unfortunately, this unwanted vegetation figured out how to beat the most common of the weed killers being used, leaving us with as big of a problem, we had before we started spraying.

Precision farming is a unique segment of the agricultural industry with a diversity of strategies for success. But there’s also a collaborative bond that connects stakeholders in building profitable businesses out of selling, servicing and supporting technology.
