Vendor Sessions

New technology continues to extend the capabilities of data collection and field operations equipment. Part of the proceedings of the conference includes a new publication being developed that targets specific applied questions related to those new technologies. University and industry experts who authored these guides will present the guidelines. Sessions will discuss crop, soil, and pest management, on-farm research, remote sensing, yield monitors, and information management.
