Farmwave Scores High on “Ag Tech Adoption Evaluation”

Shane Thomas discusses Farmwave’s collaboration with Dell Technologies in the latest edition of his “Upstream Ag Insights” newsletter. “Farmwave continues to be an interesting company in my eyes, not only because of notable initiatives like this — but specifically if we run their technology and the value they bring to farmers through the Innovation Adoption Evaluation,” Thomas says. “Farmwave’s product actually scores very high on almost every aspect. Over time, assuming they can prove benefits over and above traditional combine loss monitors, they become a likely target for equipment companies.”

Connecting with Customers over “Lunch & Learns”

On this episode of 21st Century Equipment’s FarmCast, Casey Andrews and Isabel Drobny discuss some of their best practices for assisting customers with new technology, including lunch and learns, 1-on-1 meetings, demonstrations and more.

The Value of Autonomous Irrigation

Gregg Sauder, founder of 360 Yield Center, says that Rain 360 has boosted yields by over 65 bushels per acre in some test fields. The autonomous irrigation system is featured on the Ahead of the Curve portion of the latest Conservation Ag Update episode. Sauder also previews the upcoming National Farm Machinery Show next week in Louisville, Ky.

Family Opens Up About Mental Health on the Farm

As part of the agricultural community, we are stewards for the land, let’s also take some time to be advocates for our customers and their mental health. Farmers have one of the highest suicide rates in the U.S. Farm Aid Hotline 800-FARM-AID (327-6243) Monday-Friday 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Eastern. In this Linked post, CHS Inc, shares the story of the Webster family as they open up about mental health on the farm.

How to Make Your Customer’s Planter Feel Like a Super Bowl Champion

It’s officially Super Bowl Week, and 2017 Super Bowl champion Jason Kelce is the star of this epic meme from HTS Ag, 2024 Precision Farming Dealer Most Valuable Dealership recipient. Can Jason’s brother Travis, and the Chiefs, beat the 49ers in the big game for the second time in 5 years? I don’t think so. 49ers 27, Chiefs 24. Book it.
