Survey Results and Cabela's Winners

About 7 in 10 of the respondents have at least three years of precision agriculturetechnology experience, so the responses we got came largely from folks who have been in it for a while. In terms of topic interest, the top item respondents are very interested in reading about is variable rate technology -- not surprising given the cost of inputs. Not so long ago VRT would not have resonated so loudly on a survey like this.
Also high on the "very interested" scale was the Future of Precision Technology. Looks like we'll have to shine up the crystal ball and do a bit more prognosticating ... and invite our friends in the industry to do the same.
Also of high interest were some of what we've considered more niche subjects: remote imagery and sensor technology. Clearly you folks are looking for ways to be more efficient and effective in your field work.
We appreciate the direction you provided in your responses, and I welcome you to comment with any additional thoughts in the box below.
