Breaking New Ground: Innovation Sustainability Productivity
(SPEECH)
TIM ROSZHART: Farmers have a really important job, not just helping to grow the food that feeds all of
us but to do it in a way that’s sustainable for us as a people and us as a planet.
DAN ESLINGER: CNH partners with our customers to enable their business to operate. That’s
through the use of technology, deployment of capital, dealer and support networks, and everything that’s
required for them to operate their business successfully.
TIM ROSZHART: So for those workers that were blessed enough to get into the ag industry into farming,
it’s really around how do we amplify or expand the capabilities of what they can get done.
MATT AMES: It’s an exciting time for the tractors and for the farmers as these technologies mature and
these designs are put into use and are going to be rolled out to our customers.
TIM ROSZHART: With technology, we’re able to make decisions that care for every square foot of
ground. It’s a great way to take interest in connectivity and mobile apps, artificial intelligence, and
computer vision, these things that we see in other industries, in automotive, even in the gaming industry,
and others and how to– can actually bring those interests and those passions and those skills and use it
for this great purpose to help feed the world. That’s pretty cool.
