1 Precision Farming s Global Future Markwart von Pentz 1 Precision Farming s Global Future December 5, 2016

2 Agenda Farming continues to have a great future The evolution of agriculture and economic headroom John Deere Precision Ag

3 MEETING THE DEMAND FOR MORE FOOD, FEED, AND FUEL 3 Precision Farming s Global Future December 5, 2016

4 Agriculture and Global Challenges Improving Diets Enabled by Higher Income Population Growth in Urban Areas Rural to Urban Migration 21 st Century Challenge: Sustainably produce enough food, feed, fiber, and fuel from the same or fewer resources utilizing new technologies Limited Arable Land, Water and Environmental Constraints

5 Billions Urbanization: Rural -> Urban Population Shift Urban Population Rural Population Source: United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, 2014 Revision

6 The global challenge: to ensure there is no productivity gap Global Agricultural Productivity (GAP) Index Required Rate Current Rate Global food production must increase at least 70% by Little additional land available, less water, climate change, societal constraints. Investment in agriculture must increase 50% by 2050 to meet required productivity increase. Source: USDA ERS, 2014; GHI, Precision Farming s Global Future December 5, 2016

8 The Evolution of Agriculture and Economic Headroom

9 Innovation and Technology in Agriculture Farming 1.0 Mechanization - Animal Power Farming 2.0 Mechanization Combustion Engine Farming 3.0 Guidance Systems and Precision Farming Farming 4.0 Connected Farming John Deere Precision Ag Goal: To identify the economic headroom in key production systems

10 Revenue* Cost Economic Headroom Economic Headroom The identified opportunity that can be unlocked through cost reductions and/or revenue improvements in the production system Revenue Increase Potential $/Acre Example: Precision Weed Management 2% yield increase -50% herbicide costs reduction Value in System Now Agronomic/economic model Cost Reduction Potential For a Job or Set of Tasks $23/Acre Economic Headroom 10 Precision Farming s Global Future December 5, 2016
