As 'Farming 4.0' gathers pace, Case IH is committed to helping customers extract the full potential from their businesses by maximising access to digital technology. By 2050, it's anticipated the world's population will reach nine billion. Meanwhile, the area of global land on which food can be produced continues to shrink, as development, environmental problems and other issues make farming impossible or difficult....

THE VISION IN ACTION Case IH shares its digital farming experience at EU EURACTIV conference. The groundwork for tomorrow's digital technologies has already been laid. To fulfil all this promise, Case IH, and the wider agricultural industry, are set to see some significant change. ‘We see our future not just as a manufacturer, retailer and support service for farm machines,” Mr Panadero explains. ‘Digital farming and the age of Farming 4.0 will see us build on that to integrate what those machines do into each customer's whole farm system. We don't just want to help customers get the most...

Since revealing the Autonomous Concept Vehicle (ACV) to the world at global agricultural exhibitions during 2016 and 2017, Case IH engineers have been working on incorporating its technologies into today's machines. That's being done not only to help farmers gain from the efficiencies they can bring to agriculture, but also to relieve staff from long hours and repetitive tasks, answer the challenge of finding skilled labour, and free up more time for detailed field management by existing labour. Discussions with customers around the world have helped to define exactly how autonomous...

Just as with the very first agricultural machines, autonomous technology is simply another step on the road to making...
