Choose the right perspective
Match the person's region, crops and equipment brands to your own, since precision ag support at a John Deere dealer in the Corn Belt differs from support at an ag retailer or in Latin America. Also consider whether you need a field specialist who works with growers on setup and troubleshooting or a manager who sets precision technology strategy and support programs.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01What makes a farmer decide a precision ag technology is worth paying for and learning?
- 02Which kinds of support, such as training, clinics or a support center, best keep farmers using the technology after purchase?
- 03How do you help growers turn the data from their equipment into decisions they trust?
