Jason Wykoff is no stranger to precision farming technology. Since the 1990s, he’s been using it to develop yield maps to better manage field fertility, improve row spacing accuracy and reduce operator fatigue on 4,500 acres of seed corn, field corn and soybeans in northern Indiana.

Aaron Sheller is a seventh generation family farmer in Noblesville, Ind., and his adoption curve of precision farming practices has been steep and fast. He's also co-owner of Precision Drone, a company that's developing crop-scouting unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and information systems that interface with farm management programs.
