A: We think precision ag is a win for everybody. Diversity across our footprint has helped us evolve and grow. We find ideas with one group that we take and translate into another area and see how it continues to piggyback on each other and make that product grow. We’ve tried to focus on the ROI to the customer, so it has helped the grower see the return we’re giving them through precision. When a farmer has so many acres and decisions to make, if we can take those pieces and make that more condensed for them to make better and quicker decisions, that’s what we want to do.
