With a theme of “Focus on Precision Technology That Pays,” experts will detail how implementing technology that aids in decision-making can improve yields, increase profit margins, and reduce environmental impacts.

This educational field day will discuss tools and techniques that will help farmers make data-based decisions that can improve their farm’s efficiencies and showcase how data collected from various points of production agriculture come together as important components in the smart use of technology.

“Today’s farmers are inundated with data and information, which makes determining what to do on the farm difficult.” said Ron Bates, director of agriculture and agribusiness for MSU Extension. “This field day puts farmers in front of leading experts, the latest research, and practical demonstrations. Speakers will discuss strategies that can help farmers improve their bottom line, better protect the environment, and address changing market demands.”
