Farm Success and Technology Adoption
Full Abstract
by Michael Langemeier
A business can outperform its rivals only if it can establish a difference that it can preserve. Identifying and utilizing unique resources that are difficult to obtain is a key component in sustaining a firm’s competitive advantage. In production agriculture, adopting technology and increasing productivity is a critical ingredient for success. Productivity has historically created large increases in output and improved resource use, and is critical for feeding a growing population with a growing per capital income. Adopting precision agriculture technologies is one of ways to further improve productivity. The adoption of precision agriculture will have payoffs for agricultural producers, the agribusiness value chain, and the environment.
