AGCO Tech Day 2025: Transforming Agriculture with Technology
AGCO Corporation, a renowned leader in agricultural machinery and precision technology, is gearing up for its annual Tech Day on September 30 and October 1, 2025. This year, the event will take place at the historic Götz Agrardienst farm in Markt Indersdorf, Germany. With a legacy that spans over a century, the farm will serve as the backdrop for showcasing cutting-edge innovations designed to boost the profitability of farmers across the globe.
Focus on Farmers
The primary theme of the event is centered around farmer needs, with a clear emphasis on the innovative integration of AI and autonomous solutions. Eric Hansotia, AGCO's CEO, emphasized the demand from farmers for technology that not only meets their operational needs today but is also adaptable for future challenges. “In every Tech Day, we elevate technology to the next level,” Hansotia stated, asserting AGCO's commitment to providing comprehensive agricultural solutions.
This sixth annual event will present various 'farmer-first' innovations that promise to enhance efficiency throughout the entire crop cycle. This includes technologies that can be integrated seamlessly into existing mixed-fleet operations.
Innovations on Display
Precision Agriculture Solutions
The highlight of the Tech Day will undoubtedly be AGCO's new leading brand, PTx™, which offers precision agriculture solutions tailored for every stage of farming. These solutions empower farmers by enhancing their existing equipment, be it through factory installations or retrofitting of current machinery from multiple brands, including AGCO's own Fendt®, Massey Ferguson®, and Valtra®.
Autonomous Technologies
Among the fascinating technologies displayed will be PTx Trimble's Outrun system, already in production for grain handling during harvest. This autonomous technology will also demonstrate its applications in fertilization and tillage with the use of two Fendt 900 Vario tractors. Such modern innovations enable farmers to optimize their operations and significantly address labor shortages, showcasing AGCO's aspirations to deliver full-autonomy solutions by 2030.
Harvest Technologies and Weed Control
AGCO has developed sophisticated harvesting solutions, such as IDEALharvest and HarvestPlus, that utilize advanced sensors and AI control algorithms to streamline the harvesting process. The Precision Planting brand will showcase SymphonyVision, an AI-based directed spraying system capable of reducing chemical use by up to 70% by precisely detecting and managing weeds.
Automated Planting Innovations
In addition to weed management, AGCO's innovations address critical planting challenges farmers face. Solutions like 20|20 SeedSense and vDrive ensure precise seed placement and reduce operator intervention, adapting to various field conditions.
Hansotia expressed, “We’re here to support all farmers, regardless of the brand they have on their farm door.” This commitment reflects AGCO's philosophy of being a trusted partner in delivering leading smart agricultural solutions. The company aims to reach its target of $2 billion in precision agriculture sales by 2029.
