The Summer 2024 issue of the Farms.com Precision Ag Digital Digest has been released.

It has been an interesting start to 2024 regarding ag tech and precision ag developments.

In the Spring 2024 issue, we covered four main areas: sprayer developments, planting innovations, retrofitted upgrades, and baling technologies.

For the Summer 2024 issue, we decided to break away from categorization and focus on a variety of developments in the industry.

From farm data management and autonomous tractor offerings to digital agronomy applications and equipment connectivity via SATCOM, we've got you covered (...literally).

Let’s dive in.

For starters, New Holland recently released a new farm data management platform dubbed FieldOps. It brings real-time monitoring, remote display viewing and other features into one package for users.

Sabanto brought autonomy to the John Deere 5075E.

GROWMARK and Intelinair partner on a new digital agronomy app.

CNH Industrial is soon to offer farmers access to the internet via SATCOM.

AGCO gives us an inside perspective on its PTx venture.

John Deere chats precision ag upgrades for its sprayers.

The Bits & Bytes section has some quick reads, and the PAG Tech Clips section is full of video.

We hope you enjoy the Summer 2024 Farms.com Precision Ag Digital Digest — view it here.
