Farmer Adoption

Getting Farmers on Board with a New Digital Experience

Let’s ditch that stereotype of a tech-averse farmer

“I am not sure if my farmers will use an app,” is a common sentiment that we hear from potential customers. Negative assumptions regarding the aging farming demographic and technology adoption have pervaded the digital landscape (or lack thereof). Here at Bushel, however, we have some customers boasting farmer adoption north of 90%. We believe (and have proven) that if you give a farmer a valuable tool, they’re going to use it.
