In this episode of the Precision Farming Dealer podcast, brought to you by Farmers Edge, we share excerpts from company conversations conducted at this year’s Farm Progress Show, taking the temperature of the precision farming industry.

We recently had the chance to gather members of our editorial advisory board for a casual dinner meeting in Indianapolis. During 3 courses and more than 2 of hours of stimulating conversation, we touched on some of the topical challenges and opportunities each are facing within the industry today.

At the top this month was a blog from Managing Editor Jack Zemlicka about Kubota's growing in the precision ag space. Deere made the list twice with its announcement of new precision, spraying and nutrient application products and its new distribution agreement with 360 Yield Center.

In this episode of the Precision Farming Dealer podcast, brought to you by Farmers Edge, we welcome Dr. Tom Krill, founder of Precision Strategy LLC, to share his philosophy and experience-based analysis on four key considerations for structuring a successful precision department.
