On the eve of our 4th annual National Strip-Tillage Conference last week in Omaha, Neb., I had the opportunity to assemble a group of farmers for a dinner roundtable discussion on some of the precision farming practices and tools they’ve implemented on their farming operation.

It’s increasingly common to hear dealers and other agricultural industry experts simply refer to precision farming as farming. With the ongoing integration of technology into machinery, auto-steer and GPS systems have become almost as standard as in-cab features as air conditioning.
