On the portal, you can view and download administrative documents, such as invoices and account statements, as well as agronomic data, such as laboratory analyses and AEFPs. Let’s take a look at what else AgConnexion | Portal can do for you.

The AgConnexion Grain Module lets field crop farmers track market grain prices in real time by delivery location, so you can secure prices fast.

Go at your own pace
Many farmers have already taken the plunge into digital agriculture, while others are still hesitant to dip their toes in. Why?
Technological reasons: Incompatible equipment, slow internet connections, finding the technology too complicated.
Financial reasons: Too expensive, hard to predict profitability.
Personal reasons: Need for training and support, negative perceptions of digital technology.
Risk-related reasons: Concerns about data privacy, lack of trust in digital technology.
But there are also many reasons to adopt digital technology on your farm:
Increased productivity and profitability
Better quality of life and time management
Faster decision-making
Streamlined farm operations and management
Better tracking of production and animal behaviour
More precise and environmentally friendly input application
Labour shortage solution
