This tool is intended to show the economic benefits of precision farming in a simple way.* The calculator has some default values for technology, crops and other settings. You can change these values to reflect your agricultural needs. You can export these values as a CSV file to pass on to your dealer or sales representative.
Start by selecting each machine icon to input values for the technology you are using and your crop types. The payback results will update based on the input from all four machine types.
