Precision farming isn’t about spending endless hours crunching numbers and analyzing data. It’s about answering questions that can make you more profitable. That’s the simple idea behind Ag Leader’s industry-leading SMS Software, an easy-to-use decision-making tool to help you capture the most out of every acre.

Ag Leader understands that smart management decisions are a must in your precision farming operation. And, because you may have data from different systems and sources, we aim to support as many data types as possible. SMS was developed with this in mind, so you can make well-informed decisions based on all your data.
