Long-time precision ag dealer, Tim Norris and Belinda Hughes, both from Central Ohio, formally announce our Creation of Box Concepts Consulting LLC, designed specifically for small precision ag businesses with 5 – 15 team members, to help them navigate the challenges of growing their business, creating the right team and become more efficient.

This year’s event will deliver the same high-quality content and speakers you’ve come to expect and provide you ample time to consume all of the strategies, advice and knowledge on improving your dealership’s precision business.

Paperwork and meetings may be considered necessary evils in the day-to-day workflow of a precision business, but done right, they provide invaluable insights into how to improve operational efficiency. While precision farming departments tend to have a lot of latitude and freedom, too much autonomy can produce diminishing returns and erode profit potential.

Success is never simple. The ability to overcome adversity, adapt to change and innovate out of necessity are cornerstones of every dealership recognized by Precision Farming Dealer’s Most Valuable Dealership program.

Collaboration is usually the answer to solving a complex problem, and precision farming is no exception. Peer groups are a common way for small, independent dealers and larger, multi-store OEM retailers alike, to share ideas and strategies.

CDC guidelines forced Hutson to keep crowds to a maximum of 250, so the event was split into a morning session and an afternoon session. Customers rotated between 5 sessions focused on equipment performance in the field, the marriage of agronomy and equipment to give their customers greater insights, management strategies and a competitive edge.

It’s said that if it’s not written down, it’s not a plan. For 21st Century Equipment, planning is an essential part of the 16-store dealership’s business growth strategy, especially on the precision side.

Increased production and reduced production risk are some of the many benefits derived from technological advancements. In the 21st century, precision agriculture has become a new frontier for technology adoption.

Change is going to be survival, says Arlin Sorensen, founder of HTS Ag, an independent precision farming dealership in Harlan, Iowa.
