Precision Agriculture is rounding the corner and starting to offer some returns for those farmers using it. Cornhusker NAMA hosted a panel for this discussion at the January meeting, hosted at Valmont in Valley.

The panel included Nick Emanuel, founder and CEO of CropMetrics, Mead, NE, farmers Kerry and Angela Knuth, John Campbell, manager of technology advancement and adoption for Valley Irrigation, and Jason Strand, precision ag specialist with Frontier Cooperative.

The panel agreed that technologies being offered today are making it easier to make money-saving decisions from precision ag, change is the biggest barrier to entry, and it is possible to get into precision ag in small steps.

L to R: Angela Knuth, Kerry Knuth, Nick Emanuel, John Campbell, and Jason Strand.

The panel was moderated by Randy Happel.
