Adopting a decision ag’ model rooted in service accountability, cross-training and advanced metrics positions Southern States Cooperative for continuous growth in an ever-changing segment of the ag industry.

Unlike traditional farm equipment dealerships, the Richmond, Va.-based farm cooperative, doesn’t sell hardware or machinery, and agronomy services account for nearly 50% of total annual revenue for the 200,000 member company. In fiscal year 2016, $679 million of the company’s $1.6 billion in revenue came from it’s agronomy division.

To meet revenue expectations along with the diverse support needs of customers from Delaware to Florida — and states in between — the 2017 Precision Farming Dealer Most Valuable Dealership has cultivated a precision culture rooted in training diversity, service flexibility and a proof vs. projection sales mentality.

In today’s Precision Farming Dealer podcast brought to you by Farmers Edge, we welcome David Swain, precision farming manager for Southern States, for a conversation about in-season evaluation of precision farming data being a key to the agronomic support and the value of a service-first business model with a “facts” vs. “speculation” approach.
