Through this partnership, P&H customers will not only be provided with hybrid seed, fertilizer and other crop inputs, but will also have access to the Farmers Edge Precision Solutions platform to help them harness the power of big data and increase yields on the farm.

“What we’re hearing from growers is that they have plenty of relevant, field-centric information, but they need help putting the data pieces together to support informed decision-making on the farm,” said Justin Watson, National Director of Crop Nutrients for P&H. “In partnering with Farmers Edge, we are giving our customers access to multiple tools and software with strong support in the field, to help them collect the right data for their operation so they can grow more profitable crops. At the end of the day, we’re collaborating with Farmers Edge because they’re scalable, which makes the technology affordable. They’re also a global player and specialists in collecting the right kinds of data, so we’re excited to work with them to help accelerate Canada’s transition into a data-driven, agricultural future.”
