Explore the Future of Agriculture at AGCO's PTx Winter Conference

The agricultural landscape is continuously evolving, and at the forefront of these changes is AGCO (NYSE: AGCO), a prominent global player in agricultural machinery and precision technology. Their highly anticipated PTx™ Winter Conference, scheduled for January 20-23, 2026, in Tremont, Illinois, is set to be a pivotal gathering for industry professionals.

This year's event marks a notable development as it is the inaugural conference under the PTx brand, integrating elements from both the Precision Planting® and PTx Trimble brands. The aim of this conference is to highlight next-generation technologies that can revolutionize farming practices, particularly in areas such as water management, autonomous planting, and spraying.

PTx President Brian Sorbe stated, "The 2026 Winter Conference brings together innovators and experts to showcase practical, innovative solutions that are transforming farming economics and empowering growers to achieve more with less." The event promises attendees a unique opportunity to connect with leaders in agricultural technology, agronomists, and innovative farmers who will share research findings from the Precision Technology Institute Farm.

What to Expect from the Conference

Attendees can expect enriching sessions led by 13 PTx employees on a wide range of topics related to agricultural technology advancements. The event is designed to cater not only to farmers but also to media representatives and investors. With direct access to product experts and industry leaders, participants will gain insights into how technology can optimize farming efficiency.

One of the highlights of the conference will be the exclusive insights gained from years of research at the Precision Planting's PTI Farm. This research has emphasized proven nutrient management strategies that demonstrate measurable returns on fertilizer investments. Sessions will delve into ongoing education, agronomic research, and innovative products, with a special focus on retrofittable upgrades that can significantly improve return on investment (ROI) for farmers. This attention to practical economic challenges is particularly crucial given the current downturn in the agricultural economy.

Farmers and attendees with business interests will engage in hands-on learning experiences regarding precision spraying, soil fertility management, and planter technology. The collaborative nature of the conference fosters a peer exchange environment, enabling attendees to implement innovations that can enhance yield and capital efficiency.

Interactive Learning Experiences

The conference will not only feature presentations but also live demonstrations and interactive sessions showcasing PTx's retrofit strategy and data-driven automation technologies. These advancements are poised to shape the future of agribusiness and create additional value for investors.

Additionally, after the sessions on January 20 and 21, farmers are encouraged to attend an interactive event hosted by Fendt® at the Peoria Civic Center. This will provide an opportunity to see PTx technology integrated into Fendt products and discover practical enhancements that can boost productivity, all while receiving expert guidance facilitated by PTx FarmENGAGE™ software.
