Farming for the Future

The 2012 Census of Agriculture shows that 97 percent of the 2.1 million farms in the United States are still family owned. It’s probably why farmers are so passionate about growing safe and healthy food. While the average age of the American farmer is 58, many are turning to next generation to continue the tradition by incorporating technology and fresh ideas.

Speaking of fresh perspectives, did you know approximately 20 percent of today’s farmers are under the age of 34 and 30% are women?

Technology Behind Your Food

Did you know farmers use drones, GPS and other precision technology to grow your food?

To feed a growing population and care for the environment, farmers use technology to be precise and efficient. This includes creating soil maps with GPS, monitoring crop health with drones and applying crop nutrients and crop protection products using equipment controlled by iPads. Advances like these have helped farmers grow more food using fewer resources.
