Now on Demand! Original Air Date: March 24, 2020
Recent concerns over data sharing and use have put a spot light on the work the Agricultural Data Coalition (ADC) has been doing for the past few years.

Changing the Farmgate Conversation
NOW ON DEMAND | ORIGINAL AIR DATE: Wednesday, July 17, 2019
Growers today have more options than ever before to secure needed crop inputs for the upcoming growing season. With current margins thinner than ever before, a crop input supplier must find a way to differentiate themselves on something other than price. Growers make many agronomic decisions throughout the year that will impact overall field or farm profitability, and most growers struggle to quantify impacts of these decisions.
This presentation will demonstrate how agronomic decisions impact the ROI of a field by using the data the growers collect today. How different is the conversation with the grower when you can show them ROI of your products instead of the price of your products? Let’s talk ROI instead of bags, gallons and tons!
