Titan Machinery Partners with Augmenta AgTech

Titan Machinery Inc. has announced a new partnership with Augmenta AgTech. The alliance will offer U.S. farmers, particularly in the Midwest, access to the Augmenta System, a revolutionary VRA control device that fully automates a range of in-season inputs such as nitrogen, fungicides, plant growth regulators, and desiccants.

It analyzes, learns and applies in-field and in real-time to optimize inputs according to actual need. This reduces waste, soil chemical loads and input costs while maximizing yield potential. As a result, sustainability opportunities are created and profitability improved.

“In the face of ever-rising costs and environmental concerns, the Augmenta System offers a proven, no-hassle solution designed to improve efficiency and farming outcomes. That’s why we see it as a perfect fit for our customers,” said Sam Christianson, Director of Precision and Machine Control Systems for Titan Machinery.

“Augmenta is delighted to have partnered with Titan. We both realize that getting the tech out there into farmers’ hands is the only way forward for the industry. The benefits can then speak for themselves,” said Dimitri (Jim) Evangelopoulos, Augmenta Co-founder and General Manager.
