About Agriculture
The Trimble Agriculture Division provides solutions that solve complex technology challenges across the entire agricultural supply chain. Our solutions enable farmers to allocate scarce resources to produce a safe, reliable food supply in a profitable and environmentally sustainable manner. Covering all seasons, crops, terrains and farm sizes, Trimble precision agriculture solutions can be used on and with most equipment on the farm, regardless of the manufacturer.
What sets us apart is our Trimble Connected Farm vision, our unified suite of precision solutions covering all aspects of modern agricultural management. Trimble is focused on increasing intelligence on the implement via generating and utilizing real-time agronomic information on the implement. Application planning and execution will be accomplished by applying agronomic science while digitizing the crops and their environment.
