Session: What Drives Farmer Adoption and What are Realistic Expectations?
Jonah Kolb, Managing Member, Moore & Warner Ag Group
When “monitor stacks” are a regular feature on tractors, it’s hard to argue that agtech hasn’t taken hold in farming. Barriers to adoption still remain, however, whether it’s cost, a lack of infrastructure, or questions of ownership over data generated by monitoring solutions.
But whatever challenges exist, the actions of both investors and farmers indicate that agtech adoption is accelerating. This session will examine the underlying rationale for agtech adoption and the trends investors looking to enter or increase their exposure in the space can expect moving forward.
