With growers facing challenges of elevated input costs and labor
shortages, it puts a pinch on profitability and that’s where AgTech
makes a difference.
Offering a diverse portfolio of AgTech solutions, farming
operations can rest assured that technology advancements from
Prospera and Valley can attribute to time and labor-saving
measures, ground-truthing results, and effective input reduction
all while maximizing profitability.
Leaning on his agricultural experience, Nebraska Governor Jim
Pillen addressed the audience emphasizing the importance of leading
AgTech for greater efficiency and sustainability. “Today, we
celebrate innovation and risk-taking, and celebrate the past, but
get really fired up about the future,” stated Governor Pillen.
“What extraordinary opportunities there are when you think of where
we’ve been over the last hundred years and where we are today…we
haven’t seen anything yet.”
By guiding growers to value-based tech they can reduce costly
inputs by taking advantage of the pivots already in the field to
remediate plant-level issues. The technology from Prospera and
Valley, affords growers a healthier crop and greater
profitability.
Stephen G. Kaniewski, President and CEO of Valmont Industries
stated, “Growers are experts in maximizing yields, but increasing
profits through reducing inputs is gaining traction due to cost
increases in recent years. The way to expand field production is to
eliminate the guesswork through reliable intelligence, so growers
can use fewer inputs and reduce labor costs as they maximize their
yield potential.”
“Valmont believes ag technology plays a substantial role in
helping farmers increase land productivity while optimizing the use
of water, fertilizer, and pesticides,” said Prospera President
Daniel Koppel. “We believe the best way to understand the benefits
of Plant Insights is to see it in action. The AgTech Tour is an
exciting opportunity to demonstrate the many ways growers can
maximize profits, minimize inputs, and reduce labor costs. We
invite growers from all parts of the country to have a frank and
open discussion with our experts on the AgTech Tour.”
The AgTech Tour 2023 will set a course for hands-on tech
interaction with growers at Valley Dealers throughout the country.
The tour is set to begin in the southeast, journey to the
south-central states, proceed by way of the pacific northwest
region and conclude in the central midwest. The entire lifecycle of
technology will be represented with proven, in-field ROI
delivery.
