IDEAg Interconnectivity Opens Up Farm Technology Dialogue at IDEAGGROUP.com

Interconnectivity Blog Cites New Stakeholders in Top Producing Farms

FORT ATKINSON, Wisc.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Can today’s farm producers survive on their own? No, says Matthew Bechdol, president of GeoSilos, who posted his reasons on his IDEAg Interconnectivity blog.

“Registration allows us to provide users with more information about interconnectivity”

According to Bechdol, “Modern producers have to be farmers, biologists, agronomists, bankers, accountants, market hedgers, economists, policy analysts, and often technologists to be successful. As farms grow larger and risk and volatility increase, technology is enabling us to build an interconnected system of equipment, software, data, and virtual consultative teams around our operations.”

Bechdol is one of 16 speakers at the upcoming IDEAg Interconnectivity Conference. Recently, the event website added an interactive component that would allow ongoing discussion on blog posts.

“This is a very important subject between top ag producers today,” says Ray Bianchi, vice president of show operations. “As we lead up to Interconnectivity, we need to keep an open channel of discussion. We encourage comments and registration to enhance the open dialogue.”
