Findings from a Focus Group of Precision Farming Technology Adopters

Burton C. English and Roland K Roberts


 
ABSTRACT

Eighteen Tennessee farmers discussed adopting precision farming technologies in a focus group. Major adoption impediments included lack of a trained labor force, high investment cost for equipment, and lack of software compatibility. Producers want downloadable digitized soil maps, farmhands trained in precision farm technologies, skilled service providers, standardized equipment and software, and extension programs in software training.
