The Next Big “Thing” According to Precision Ag Retailer Survey

Ag Funder News breaks down a couple key takeaways from the 2025 CropLife/Purdue Precision Survey, which polled 108 ag retailer input suppliers in the U.S. Just 11% of dealers said they offer AI that identifies weeds for spraying, but a quarter plan to offer such a service 3 years from now. However, most dealers surveyed don’t think AI will replace the need for agronomic expertise, nor reduce operational costs such as labor.
