2021 Precision Farmer Panel

Nov 19, 2021

Just a buncha regular guys talking about their day jobs involving the high-tech world of precision agriculture equipment.

That was the closing scene of the well-attended 2021 Farms.com-sponsored virtual Precision Agriculture Conference & Ag Technology Showcase held November 16-18.

Moderated by Mike Ulik, the Precision Farming Manager for AGCO, farmers: Jeff Bennet owner of Bone Trail Land Company Ltd. in Dodsland, Saskatchewan; Matt Ververs of Ververs Farms in Wasaga Beach, Ontario; and Taylor Phillips of Producers Edge near Regina, Saskatchewan discussed their individual trials, tribulations and successes with their experimentation with precision ag technologies.

It’s all well and good for precision ag equipment and technology manufacturers to state that their product or service is the future of farming, but how does it stack up now in the present?

Even though the 2021 Precision Agriculture Conference & Ag Technology Showcase is over, there is still time to register to gain access to all video presentations and exhibitor area until November 29, 2021.
