Precision Ag Manager Sam Farrington outlines why yield data is the cornerstone of precision ag—revealing the “why” behind field performance and turning harvest maps into smarter, more profitable decisions. IAS processes data from AgLeader, John Deere, CaseIH, Kinze, Precision Planting and more, layering soils and management zones to deliver clear reports and custom planting/nitrogen recommendations.
