Video: The Crop Planning Tool That Could Change Your Bottom Line!

Every growing season begins with hundreds of high-stakes decisions. But what if you could test those decisions before they cost you real money?
In this episode of Ag Tech with Andrew, I sit down with Landon Fahlman from AgExpert to discuss the launch of CropPlan+—an innovative crop planning tool designed to help farmers turn their own farm data into smarter, more profitable decisions.

We explore how growers can:
Test unlimited crop planning scenarios before the season begins.
Track costs, profitability, and breakeven prices in real time.
Compare projected versus actual performance throughout the season.
Use historical farm data—not generic averages—to make more confident decisions.
Leverage the AgExpert Assistant for personalized insights from anywhere, even from the cab.
Whether you're growing corn, soybeans, wheat, canola, or other crops, this conversation is packed with practical insights on reducing risk, improving profitability, and making every acre count.
If you're looking for ways to farm smarter—not just harder—this is an interview you won't want to miss.
