Discussions with multiple stakeholders in this domain influenced the opinions and insights presented in this study. The market report includes detailed transcripts of interviews conducted with the following individuals:
Precision farming technology will mark a turning point in 2025. In response to the likelihood of farmers adopting precision technology for saving money and labor challenges, Casey Dray, (Global Precision Technology Portfolio Manager, CNH), states, “Certainly, technology is one of the leading items customers look at now because it can either improve their yields or lower their cost of operation. When they choose to buy a new piece of equipment, we work to have that technology integrated into the equipment so that when it hits their field, it’s ready for them to utilize. We also have aftermarket solutions they can leverage, even something as simple as a guidance system or rate control functions. Technology has a great value, and I think aftermarket is going to be a main focus for dealers as they have conversations with their customers in 2025.”
