LINCOLN, Neb. (DTN) — Because many farmers find themselves flush with cash from the recent spikes in commodity prices, now may be the time for producers to make investments in ag-data technologies, the head of the National Corn Growers Association said during a webinar on Thursday.
The idea of sharing data collected from yield monitors and other gizmos was considered a major privacy concern for farmers not that long ago. It still is on many farms. But this data’s potential to improve operations is beginning to outweigh those concerns.
Jon Doggett, CEO of the National Corn Growers Association, said some of those attitudes are changing. Doggett spoke during a webinar hosted by AGree focusing on innovation in ag data.
