n 2019, we at Future Farming will look for the most innovative farmers on the planet. Why would we do that? Be- cause our experience shows that the personal stories appeal much more to the imagination and fit in with the practice. It’s always better to hear and see directly from a farmer about what – with a focus on precision farming – is working really well on a farm, and what is not. This gives much more insight than listening to manufacturers and suppliers, who always claim to have the best systems, machines and tractors. But what is an innovative farmer? It means an arable farmer, fruit grower or vegetable grower who looks ahead. It’s the small group of farmers who go with their feelings, without knowing in advance what it will bring. These are the farmers who want to understand and embrace the harvest-, field- and satellite data that has become available. They do not quit and step back if there is no direct result. The farmers are the ones who make a lot of mistakes and then learn from them. Are these big farmers? No, not necessarily. Size does not matter, cleverness does. These are the fore- runners that the rest can learn from – worldwide. Do you know such a forerunner? Let us know.
