Webinar From the virtual field to the real field

This upcoming Future Farming webinar will take place at 15.00 CET on 29 March.

About the webinar:

Farmers have a wealth of data and monitoring systems to optimise their operations – but bringing those systems together and easily applying them to the real-world terrain is critical to maximising efficiency and productivity. Topcon’s Tim van der Leck explores how farmers can farm their way,  but better, by utilising full-workflow guidance and data systems to accurately interpret the data they collect.
