How Precision Agriculture Becomes Accessible for Small Farmers

In the village of Tovste in the Ternopil region, at the farm “El Gaucho,” the company “Agrosem” demonstrated how digital precision agriculture technologies work in real field conditions and improve the enterprise’s operations: from data collection to automated task execution with machinery.

“Digital technologies, analytics, and laboratory research form the basis of modern agribusiness. Thanks to them, we are moving from intuitive decisions to data-driven management,” emphasized Maxim Mushynsky, the head of precision agriculture projects at “Agrosem.”

According to him, such tools were recently only available to large agroholdings, but today, thanks to an outsourcing model, small farms can also implement them without building their own infrastructure.

Automated Work

Since February 2026, “Agrosem” has been implementing a project within the AGRO Program with the support of the US Government. By September 2026, it is planned to cover at least 262 small and medium-sized farms on an area of over 230,000 hectares. Farmers will have access to digital management, agrochemical soil analysis, weather monitoring, and training on working with the John Deere Operations Center platform.

Andrii Shumyak, the lead precision agriculture manager at “Agrosem,” explained how automation works in practice. After the agronomist creates a differential application map and develops a work plan, all data is automatically transmitted to the tractor monitor.

“The machine operator doesn’t need to do anything else. When he moves to the field boundary, the information that there are tasks for this field is immediately displayed. He presses the button and starts working,” explained Shumyak.
