Exploring the barriers to implementing ag technology

Some have said that agriculture does not have an innovation problem – it has an implementation problem. While survey results indicated respondents are aware of the benefits that technology can provide for their farm, there are various barriers preventing them from implementing new technology.


What are the greatest impacts of ag tech?

As in much of agriculture, practicality is key to the uptake of ag tech. No matter how futuristic or ambitious a piece of tech or practice is, if it doesn’t have a clear, demonstrable benefit in some way, it likely won’t stick as part of the operation. But what positive impacts rank as most important to farmers?


What does the future hold – and how do we get there?

Technology has enormous potential to change the way Canadian farms operate in the future. Toward the end of the Ag Tech Survey, respondents were asked what problem technology (not currently available in the market) could solve within the next 10 years. The results were varied, with some general themes of accuracy, autonomy, reliability and labour appearing several times.
