precision agriculture technical

"the premier event for precision agriculture education, on January 20–23, 2026"

Precision agriculture uses sensors, satellite maps, weather data and automated equipment to manage crops and livestock more exactly — applying water, fertilizer and treatments only where and when they are needed. For investors it matters because this data-driven approach can lower costs, boost yields and make farming more predictable and scalable, much like a GPS and health tracker that optimizes a route and fitness plan for better results.

artificial intelligence (ai) technical

"applications of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and mechanical advancements"

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the development of computer systems that can perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence, such as understanding language, recognizing patterns, and making decisions. For investors, AI can enhance how businesses analyze data, automate processes, and innovate, potentially leading to increased efficiency and new opportunities in the market.

machine learning technical

"applications of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and mechanical advancements"

Machine learning is a set of computer programs that learn patterns from large amounts of data and improve their predictions or decisions over time, like a recipe that gets better each time it’s adjusted based on taste tests. For investors it matters because these systems can speed up analysis, spot trends or risks humans might miss, automate routine work, and potentially create competitive advantages or cost savings that affect a company’s performance.

View in glossary

return on investment (roi) financial

"upgrades that require smaller investments but deliver significant return on investment (ROI) for farmers"

Return on investment (ROI) measures how much money you gain or lose compared with what you originally put in, usually shown as a percentage. Investors use it to compare the efficiency of different investments—like checking miles per gallon when choosing a car—so you can see which option gives the biggest payoff for each dollar, helping weigh potential reward against cost and risk.

autonomy technical

"next-generation technologies for water management, autonomy planting and spraying"

Autonomy is the ability of a system, device, or organization to operate and make decisions without direct human control, like a self-driving car navigating on its own or a business unit running independently from a parent company. Investors care because greater autonomy can lower ongoing labor costs, create new revenue opportunities, change safety and legal risk, and alter competitive positioning — much like replacing a hired driver with a smart machine or giving a team the freedom to move faster.

Event in Tremont, Illinois, brings together PTx leaders, agronomists, innovative farmers and industry experts.

DULUTH, Ga., Jan. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AGCO (NYSE: AGCO), a global leader in agricultural machinery and precision ag technology, announces the return of the PTx™ Winter Conference, the premier event for precision agriculture education, on January 20–23, 2026, in Tremont, Illinois. This year marks the first-ever conference under the PTx brand, encompassing both Precision Planting^® and PTx Trimble brands to feature next-generation technologies for water management, autonomy planting and spraying.

"The 2026 Winter Conference brings together innovators and experts to showcase the practical, innovative solutions that are transforming farming economics and empowering growers to achieve more with less," said PTx President Brian Sorbe. "Farmers, trade and business media and investors will all find useful information that will surprise and excite them about the future of agriculture."

Hosted by PTx and featuring five different sessions presented by 13 PTx employees, the conference delivers a comprehensive look at how leading-edge agricultural technologies are transforming farming.

Media representatives seeking insight into how farmers use technology will have direct access to product experts, PTx leadership and innovative farmers all in one place and under one roof.

A highlight of the event will be exclusive insights from multi-year research at Precision Planting's PTI Farm where proven nutrient management strategies have demonstrated measurable returns on fertilizer investments. Sessions focus on continued education, agronomic research and innovative products, especially retrofittable upgrades that require smaller investments but deliver significant return on investment (ROI) for farmers, a key consideration during the current ag economy downturn.

Farmers and business-focused attendees will find practical solutions to everyday challenges, with hands-on learning in precision spraying, soil fertility management and planter technology. The collaborative environment fosters peer exchange and empowers attendees to implement innovations that drive yield and capital efficiency. Live demos and interactive sessions will showcase PTx's retrofit strategy and data-driven automation, illustrating how these advancements are shaping the future of agribusiness and investor value.

After the PTx Winter Conference sessions on January 20 and 21, farmers are invited to the Peoria Civic Center from 4–8 p.m. CT for an interactive event hosted by Fendt^®.
