Precision Farming Dealer editors are excited to announce the release of the 12th annual Precision Farming Dealer Summit program. Click here to see what to expect when the top precision farming dealers in North America gather for 2 days of unrivaled learning and networking, Jan. 11-12 in downtown Indianapolis.

The 2027 Summit will feature 7 general sessions with top industry experts, 12 highly interactive dealer-to-dealer roundtables, 5 focused classrooms, networking meals and opportunities to interact with leading precision suppliers.

Catapult Ag founder Casey Niemann will set the tone with the Kickoff Presentation. Niemann, who founded the support platform AgriSync and eventually sold it to John Deere, will lead an interactive session about how dealers can differentiate themselves in the face of rapidly evolving service expectations from farmers. He’ll share practical ways to strengthen customer relationships, improve responsiveness and prepare your team for what’s next in the precision farming business.

Quint Pottinger will give dealers a glimpse into the mind of their customers when the eighth-generation farmer explains how and why he went all in on autonomous planting this past growing season. The New Haven, Ky., farmer will show how autonomy is potentially changing the equipment equation.

The fan-favorite major line manufacturer panel returns once again with precision leaders from 3 OEMs discussing the biggest trends impacting the industry, challenges slowing adoption and the best practices they see embraced by the top-performing dealers in their network.

ATTENDEE EXCLUSIVE: A Private AI Working Session to Solve One Immediate Need

Summit Title Sponsor NorthBuilt has agreed to conduct a complimentary AI Working Session for all attending companies of the 2027 Precision Farming Dealer Summit. 

Through the private session, dealers will find low-hanging fruit that can reduce manual or redundant work, and put more time back on the clock, says Chris Morbitzer, CEO of the Minnesota-based software and technology advisor firm, back again as a Summit sponsor.

“You’ll walk out with a working solution, built around your business, and understand in time and dollars what it’s been costing you,” he says. “And it’s yours to keep.”

The “no-pitch” 90-minute session will examine a real-world task in your operation and deliver a specific solution that will work with your systems. No preparation, no technical skill, nothing to buy. 

How it works:

  1. Once you're scheduled for the private session, we’ll ask a few quick questions.
  2. Our senior advisor starts with the one task you identified.
  3. We build it together, live — our hands on the keyboard, your call on every move.
  4. You take it for a spin with your real example, right there. Something you can keep and use.
  5. We wrap up and mention bigger things you could do, without selling.

“It’s entirely free, with nothing to buy,” says Morbitzer. “Any next steps would be on your call and timeline.”

The AI Working Session — valued at $700 — is FREE to Summit attendees (1 per dealership) and valid through June 2027.

Other general sessions will feature Stephanie Pharris, machine technology manager for Bingham Equipment Co., Layne Richins, chief technology officer for Stotz Equipment, Adam Fennig from Fennig Equipment, and a dealer AI panel featuring Brent Harness from LoneStar Ag, Jeremy Marston from J.J. Nichting and others!

The classroom sessions will include an interoperability deep-dive with leaders from the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) and the Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation (AEF), a retrofit technology-focused presentation from Chad Baker, owner of Baker Precision Planter Works, new eye-openers from the longest running precision ag survey with Purdue University’s Bruce Erickson and multiple precision product demos from leading suppliers.

Twelve dealer-to-dealer roundtables will cover an array of common pain points and key topics, including customer clinics, precision service plans, ‘busy season’ strategies, data management, AI, mixed fleets, used technology, sales challenges, talent recruitment and more.
