A five-year Farm Bill provides a policy foundation for investment in the future of agriculture.

No matter where in the world Daniel finds himself, he is just a click away from his ranch. A smartphone app allows him to locate his cows and adjust their pasture access to an area as small as two acres. He can move cattle two to three times a day without having to drive across the operation’s 15,000 acres that hold around 3,000 head of cattle. The combination of virtual fencing and solar-powered collars has the potential to be one of his most profitable ranch investments.

While none of these developments are anything extraordinary on their own, together they point toward more margin pressure than has been the norm in recent years. As margins compress, focus will need to be regained and margins will need to be more actively managed. Read more from @TerrainAg: fcsamerica.com/resources/lea…
