Our editorial rankings of farm management software, crop monitoring platforms, precision ag and robotics companies, irrigation, indoor farming and livestock tech, plus ag marketing agencies and developers, researched and updated for 2027.
Agtech, short for agricultural technology, covers the software, sensors, drones, robots, irrigation systems and indoor growing equipment that help farms produce more with less water, fuel, chemicals and labor.
Yes, with the right approvals. Commercial spray drone operators generally need an FAA Part 107 remote pilot certificate, a Part 137 agricultural aircraft operator certificate and, for heavier aircraft, an FAA exemption, plus a state pesticide applicator license. See our licensing guide for the full process.
Precision agriculture uses GPS guidance, sensors, imagery and variable rate equipment to manage each part of a field according to what it needs, instead of treating the whole field the same way.
Start with what you grow or raise, the equipment and data sources it must connect to, and whether you need accounting, compliance or agronomy features. Most farms trial one or two platforms for a season before committing.
