Bryce Baker, North America Tactical Marketing Lead, PTx, discusses the company’s “retrofit first” strategy for expanding internationally, the expanding scope of qualified spraying, and the difficulties of scaling freedom in this Ag Tech Talk event.
Baker explains how OEM partnerships match that plan while retrofitting growers to adopt new technology without having to wait for their next tools business cycle. He also provides some tips for businesses looking to enter new markets: Understand the grower. Autonomy, data administration, and fleet logistics may shape the future of accuracy agriculture.

Where do you see the most promising options for precision agriculture in the world, according to AgriBusiness Global?
Bryce Baker: Operator ease and input savings are two categories of simple implementation opportunities. The first is best demonstrated by preventing overlaps, recording limitations, and shutting off quickly with expanse power and section. The benefits are repeatable year after year. Farmer row cleaning, closing tires, and combines with automatic steer and in-cab adjustments save time and money without having to pay a lot of money. These opportunities will continue in the future, but ships and data management are gaining in importance. Producers need betteɾ methods of managing transportation, treatments, αdvice lines, and ȿystem ḑata as farms grow and ships ǥrow. Precision-ag systems may improve ƫhe efficiency αnd actionability of those insigⱨts.
Savings on insight and convenience are combined by intended blasting. It reduces inputs and increases productivity by applying call herbicides just where plants are present, applying AI and machine learning. A contact-only move may include twice as many acres of weeds without replacing, reducing sensitive fills, for instance. Although there is some setup involved, I anticipate that targeted spraying will become popular as farmers become more adept at integrating technology.
