Smart Farming Week: March 10 - 16, 2025
Farm Journal’s Smart Farming Week is an annual week-long emphasis on innovation in agriculture. The goal is to encourage you to explore and prioritize the technology, tools and practices that will help you farm smarter.
From drones and data to sensors and science, Smart Farming is a persistent management strategy that empowers farmers to collect, visualize and confidently act upon relevant insights. In turn, farmers can optimize efficiency and resources despite environmental uncertainties and remain resilient in the production of food, feed and fiber.
