DuPont Pioneer and AGCO today announced a global collaboration to bring wireless data transfer technology solutions to farmers in leading agricultural markets, including the United States, Canada, Brazil and key European countries.

 The modern-farming-practices race is getting another dose of steroids as DuPont and Deere collaborate on bringing advanced field-management technology to the farmer. By linking the agronomy software of the chemical giant's Pioneer seed division with the farm-equipment maker's wireless-data-transfer architecture, the two want to transform how farmers access data on grain moisture, historical yields, and nutrient deficiencies in their soil so they can know where, when, and how best to plant their seed.

Valmont Irrigation, the manufacturer of the Valley brand of irrigation equipment, announces its collaboration with FarmersEdge to provide a synergy of equipment and services to farmers in Europe and Asia.
