In that role he serves both farmers directly as well as the partners that Croptimistic works with.

Chris tells host Tim Hammerich talk about his path from the family farm to farm machinery to now ag tech. They also talk more about his experiences working with SWAT MAPS customers, why they don’t have a big sales team, and the path forward for precision agriculture.“ When we can build a zone map for our farmers that is built on those stable properties, and they can count on that map being accurate year after year after year.
