Estimate the financial impact of precision agriculture for your farm



Unlock the hidden value in your fields!


Precision agriculture is a data-driven, technology-enabled farming management method where farmers monitor, quantify, and examine the requirements of specific crops and fields to minimize costs and maximize yield.

What results can precision farming bring?

Every farm is unique, so results will vary widely, but recent studies* indicate that generally speaking, precision farmers with row crops, (e.g., corn, soybeans, wheat) can expect to see an 8–20% reduction in input costs and a 2–6% yield increase, compared to farmers who are not using precision farming methods. Farmers see the highest ROI when soil variability is high and fertilizer costs are significant.
