Precision farming ROI calculator

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 farm management method. It helps farmers monitor and respond to the needs of specific crops and fields to reduce costs and improve yield.

What results can precision farming bring?

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

Choose a crop to load representative default values, then adjust any field to reflect your operation. Select Calculate ROI to see the potential financial impact.
