The Evolving Nature of Precision Ag: The Confluence of Societal Interests and Precision Agriculture

Steve Sonka

farmdoc daily, 2025, vol. 14, issue 217

Abstract: This is the third of three articles exploring precision agriculture and its current and future impacts. The first article reviewed the path of precision agriculture over the last three decades (Sonka (a)). The second speculated about the future path of technologies and their effects (Sonka (b)). Both articles framed the discussion in terms of decision making and profitability within the boundaries of the farm. Today’s article considers how technology may allow agriculture in the future to more effectively respond to societal interests that extend beyond the farm gate.
