Vendor Sessions

An advisory group of leaders in agribusiness interests will discuss service business considerations for retailers, consultants and others, during this program track being organized under the leadership of Ron Olson, Royster-Clark, Inc. With the fast changing effects of new technology, dealers and industry representatives must be in step with the expectations of farmer-customers. Speakers at the business opportunities sessions during InfoAg99 will each respond to a series of key questions from their own experience as successful farmers, consultants, or fertilizer/ag chemical retailers.

What is your vision of precision agriculture and how did you shape that vision?
What first steps did you take in precision agriculture?
How have you integrated precision agriculture systems into your business?
How has precision agriculture affected how you recruit and train personnel?
How have you grown your business using precision ag technology?
How do you look ahead? See the future?
