Harnessing technological advancements in the agriculture industry has indeed benefited agribusinesses. But the benefits seen around the world don’t stop at the businesses themselves — the implementation of e-agriculture is offering many benefits to the environment at large as well. Learn more about the impact smart agriculture has had on farmers in developing countries and how these strategies support the environment. 

In reality, the success of any industry can essentially be boiled down to two fundamental processes: an efficient production of goods, and a strong connection to a market in order to sell those goods to customers. The Ag industry is no different. Agribusinesses today are continually looking for ways to help their customers improve crop yields and stay connected to in an ever-changing market – no easy task!

We talk with Progressive Farmer Senior Editor Dan Miller about the latest in what to expect in the months ahead in the equipment market, and how to prepare for a year when it might not be possible to get needed parts and equipment fast.

The top five reasons digital tech is working to help grow the agriculture industry include: reduced waste, higher crop yields, lowered costs, reduced labor, and improved planning. Read on to take a closer look at these five benefits and some of the ways they are being realized.

Your producers are often tasked with monitoring and tracking every aspect of their operation to stay productive and profitable. As agriculture becomes a more competitive industry, increasing efficiencies and remaining ahead of competitors is a priority. So it is little wonder why digital farming has grown in popularity, quickly becoming a necessity for agribusinesses and farmers the world over. 

Precision agriculture describes a method of farming with greater accuracy and efficiency. Greater precision equates to increased profitability. Precision agriculture, therefore, results in the dual benefit of higher crop yields with a lesser impact on the environment.

Machine learning (ML) has already begun to play an important role in making agriculture more efficient and effective. Precision ag relies on the gathering, processing, and analysis of data for more efficient agricultural production.

Technological innovation is not being motivated by innovation for innovation’s sake. The goal of increased efficiency (the need to produce more with less) is being driven by such urgent global forces as a growing population, increased urbanization, and a chronic labor shortage.

Agriculture’s next generation of farmers deals with unique challenges. At this year’s DTN Ag Summit, hear from Progressive Farmer’s Class of 2022 America’s Best Young Farmers & Ranchers and how they overcome these obstacles. Register today and save $100!
