Outback Guidance, a leader in automated steering and advanced precision farming solutions, and a part of AgJunction, Inc. (TSX: AJX), is launching its hands-free farming campaign at the Farm Progress show 2017, which is being held August 29th-31st, 2017 in Decatur, Illinois.
The hands-free farming campaign is focused on building a community to share their experiences, suggestions, and best practices around cost-effective precision farming systems that work for farms of all sizes.
Outback Guidance believes precision farming systems should be available to every farmer, regardless of size. In fact, small farmers benefit more than anyone when they use precision farming systems to manage their crops. An example of this was highlighted in a USDA study, which shows farmers can save $15 an acre each year using a GPS autosteering solution.
"With the launch of our hands-free farming campaign, we're committed to making precision farming systems accessible to every farmer who can benefit from it," said Jeff Morris, AgJunction's chief marketing officer. "Farmers can join our campaign today by going to www.handsfreefarm.com and registering. In doing so, they'll receive a limited time offer for an easy-to-use and affordable autosteering solution. And, if they farm 400 acres or more, they'll realize payback in their first season."
