The PrecisionAg Vision Conference has been designed to bring the true decision makers together to learn how big industries can work together to take advantage of the opportunities. “Our goal is for attendees to come away from this conference energized about the technologies and opportunities available in the precision agriculture field,” said Paul Schrimpf, Executive Editor, PrecisionAg Media^®.

Representatives of CAPA-member organizations and companies have worked withPrecisionAg Media to help shape the agenda of the Vision Conference and to participate in this ground-breaking event.  “We’re proud and pleased to receive CAPA’s support for the first Vision Conference,” Schrimpf said.
