​The agriculture sector is undergoing a major transformation driven by new technologies, which enable farmers to increase both productivity and profitability. Precision agriculture, which includes the fusion of three key technologies – computer mapping, guidance, and variable-rate equipment – is currently being augmented with an increase in farm-knowledge systems and data.

Yet farmers must continue to be creative in how they leverage technology and must become more efficient when it comes to their farm income – using less land to produce more crops and increase the productivity and yield of farmed acres. As data becomes more available, the importance of data analytics and cloud technologies will grow as farmers continue to focus on the end result: increasing productivity while minimizing vehicle downtime.
