A threat to the Global Position System (GPS) has reemerged, and AEM is joining together with several other groups to lead the effort to defeat it again.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) took another step to implement the Precision Ag Connectivity Act (PACA) with the announcement of the Precision Ag Task Force members.

The legislation will help to facilitate the deployment of broadband internet across rural America, where connectivity is increasingly essential for production agriculture.

Helping ag industry professionals improve their knowledge of ISOBUS compatibility between tractors and implements is the goal of the AEF Conference Day May 10 from the Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation (AEF).

Progress on developing true plug-and-play compatibility through ISOBUS connections has been ongoing, although at times, it’s an arduous process, especially in North America. But the collaboration of two independent organizations aiming to streamline equipment functionality could help accelerate the rate of progress.
