Returning from an educational and enriching visit to present our 2018 Most Valuable Dealership (MVD) award last week, I’ve had time to reflect on the reasons why our independent judging panel selected the winner of the 6th annual program.
At Agritechnica 2015, Bruce Vandersee, CEO of Vanderfield, a 14-store John Deere dealership group in Australia, discusses the evolution of precision farming in the area and adoption trends to watch in the future.

Verdant Robotics showed off its new Sharpshooter at the FIRA Conference a few weeks ago. Dubbed the only robotic precision application system that aims before it shoots, Sharpshooter uses Bullseye Aim & Apply Technology.
