“Our grower-customers are looking for better ways to make the most of all their inputs, whether nutrients, seed, or diesel fuel,” he says. “Precision ag tools and the advice we offer at our retail outlets can help to increase efficiency and profitability, and improve overall farm management.”

This skilled management of inputs and yield, says K. Elliott Nowels, Director of the PrecisionAg Institute, is also providing both farmers and crop input dealers a positive message about conservation and stewardship.

“Research shows that when growers put precision technology to use, they are able to optimize their use of land, water, seed and nutrients and that benefits everyone,” he says. “The support of our partners will help us reach more growers with that message and also help us tell the story of agriculture’s resource stewardship.”
