MoneyFarm – Getting More Mileage from Existing Resources
Panel discussion with growers, moderated by Rob Sharkey, The SharkFarmer
Let’s face it, farming is not always fair. Growers are expected to do more with less while facing uncontrollable factors and competitive markets. In today’s digital world, data is the primary source of performance advantage yet it’s still the most under-utilized and incompletely understood force in farming. If you do not have access to it, you cannot use it. If you do not control it, you cannot measure it, develop it over time or build a sound strategy upon it. Nationally, growers using farm data management solutions on their farm are seeing an average ROI advantage of $11.00 per acre. Join the discussion to talk about practical strategies to profit from the most insightful and valuable resource on the farm.
