Technology impacts our lives more and more every day, no matter what industry you’re in. And it plays a growing role for ranchers to make their jobs easier. In this Rancher Roundtable segment, brought to you by Corteva Agriscience, the panel will discuss the growing influence tech plays in cattle production. We’ll talk about tech trends, new products available, and discuss ways producers have benefited from new technology introductions.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- Technology has influenced our lives in unexpected ways, and will likely do so in the cattle industry moving forward
- Ranchers evaluate how new technologies can improve their operations in different ways, so making those evaluations easy is important
- Corteva is leading the charge when it comes to tech in land improvement with LANDVisor, giving ranchers more information about their land than ever before
Speakers joining us will be:
