Cultivating Precision, Yield and Profitability with Farmer-Driven Innovation
A Retreat by Growers, for Growers
Smart Harvesting Summit
Why Smart Harvesting Summit?
There are over 2,000,000 farms in the United States. The current world population is estimated to reach 9.7 billion by 2050 which must be met by corresponding increases in food production.
A 2022 McKinsey survey on the Voice of the US Farmer shows that growers are embracing new products and technologies to manage market unpredictability and rising input costs. The cost of fertilizer has risen by 71%, crop protection by 30%, and the cost of labor by 17% respectively. The Smart Harvesting Summit will convene over 100 like-minded specialty crop, and row crop growers, and ag retailers to share strategies on how today’s growers are deploying intelligence to gain visibility into crop yields, cost factors, soil health composition, control fertilizer and pesticide type, and leverage autonomous technologies to mitigate labor shortages.
Learn how to trim costs while maximizing output, putting you in control of your bottom line. Don't miss the opportunity to transform your yields, profits, and efficiency at Smart Harvesting Summit. It's not just about working harder; it's about working smarter.
“The AI in agriculture market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 22.5% to reach USD 2,628.5 Million by 2025 from USD 518.7 Million in 2017.”
