Precision agriculture doesn’t come without its share of frustrations; getting systems to “talk” to each other is certainly one of them. Now the Agricultural Retailers Association (ARA) is encouraging the use of AgGateway‘s ADAPT toolkit to allow multiple formats to share data across software applications.

“We encourage manufacturers to integrate the ADAPT framework in their offerings, and to leverage the many resources available through AgGateway to provide this benefit to ag retailers and producers as soon as possible,” said ARA President and CEO Daren Coppock. “The AgGateway teams worked with ag retailers in developing ADAPT to make sure their needs were addressed. ADAPT will help ag retailers and agronomists more easily manage data, saving an enormous amount of time and resources, and leading to more satisfied producer customers with stronger tools to manage their operations.”

Equipment manufacturers and software companies are encouraged to go to www.ADAPTFramework.org for more information.
