Precision agriculture updates - AI, data and sensors 2026
Precision agriculture is the operating system of the modern farm. This page tracks the AI models, satellite layers, soil and yield analytics, and decision platforms reshaping in-field choices in 2026. Dirk Vandenhirtz curates updates that matter for founders building precision-ag startups, OEMs integrating data services, and investors mapping the next $1B vertical. We focus on production deployments, not demos - variable-rate adoption, FMS consolidation, satellite-data pricing wars, and the convergence between agronomy software and physical AI. Use this as your monthly precision-ag briefing before your next product roadmap or investment review.
