报告：高科技精准农业是降低农场成本的关键

Report: High-tech precision ag is a key to cutting farm costs

来源： AGDAILY

美国家庭持续面临食品价格高企，农业社区则饱受利润微薄困扰。美国承诺组织（American Commitment）发布的一份新报告指出，支持美国农民、降低食品价格的最有效途径，并非扩大补贴或强化监管指令，而是持续投资由美国主导的农业创新。

这份题为《收获的权利：守护让美国农场保持竞争力的创新》的报告，依托美国农业部与美国农场局联合会的核心数据，结合近年农业科技创新案例，对美国农业经济展开分析。报告详细阐述：美国高品质、高科技农机已实实在在帮助农户与生产者减少昂贵生产资料投入，而未来持续技术进步还将释放更大潜力。

为延续这一发展成果，报告呼吁政策制定者支持合理监管框架与产权保护，以培育创新、推动繁荣。

美国承诺组织主席菲尔・克彭表示：“农业领域的创新已在降低食品生产成本、提升生产效率。该领域未来潜力巨大。美国应继续鼓励农业科技投资，守护农民与全体美国人享受创新红利的权利。”

报告开篇将农业置于 2021—2022 年联邦支出激增后大范围通胀压力之下，指出由此引发的通胀对周期性农业经济构成 “顽固且持续的挑战”。

而当下农业产业的重要性前所未有 —— 它占美国经济总量的 18.7%，支撑超 4700 万个就业岗位，是消费者货架上食品的来源保障。

报告援引美国农业部数据显示，玉米、大豆、棉花、小麦等主粮作物至少从 2022 年起便已无利可图；预测显示，2025—2026 种植季农户净现金收入损失或将达到约 440 亿美元。

报告数据凸显生产成本急剧攀升。第 4 页图表显示，2025 年农业总生产成本预计升至 4670 亿美元，其中畜禽饲料 690 亿美元、化肥 340 亿美元、燃油 160 亿美元、劳动力 540 亿美元。

2021 至 2023 年，仅柴油价格涨幅便超 27%，化肥价格仍高于疫情前水平。正如一位农户所言：“即便不加关税，投入成本本就居高不下。化肥、种子、农药、设备、燃油、土地价格始终高企。”

这种财务压力影响远超农村地区。要知道，农业带动超 9.5 万亿美元经济活动，占全国经济 18.7%，支撑超 4700 万个就业岗位。

精准农业：对抗通胀的利器

报告不主张扩大直接援助，而是认为高科技精准农业是长效解决方案。设备制造商协会 2025 年报告显示，当前精准技术普及已使作物年产量提升 5%，若进一步推广，还可再增 6%。

该研究同时发现，精准农业已帮助减少耕地面积 1140 万英亩，约为黄石国家公园面积的五倍。

报告用具体数据说明成本节约效果：化肥利用率提升 8%，每 1000 英亩最多可节省 2 万美元；燃油消耗降低 7%，每 1000 英亩可节省 4000 美元；用水减少 5%，每 1000 英亩可节省 1.6 万美元；随着技术普及，除草剂用量最高可下降 50%—90%。

报告还提到，2017 至 2021 年，美国农业部与国家科学基金会已为精准农业研发投入近 2 亿美元，包括人工智能相关合作项目。过去五年，农业领域学徒岗位增长 56%，反映出对技术人员与先进制造业工人的需求持续上升。

报告指出：“农业领域技术突破与先进制造业深度融合”，带动了对技术员、数据专家、设备工程师与熟练操作员的需求。

案例研究：约翰迪尔与爱科集团

报告重点分析了美国两大农机制造商：约翰迪尔（John Deere）与爱科（AGCO）。

约翰迪尔在美国约有 3 万名员工，近期宣布投资 200 亿美元扩建本土产能，新建两座工厂。其旗舰创新产品ExactShot 精准施肥系统可将肥料精准施于每粒种子，使用该技术的农户可减少 60% 化肥用量，同时保持产量。该系统单行每秒可播种 30 粒，24 行播种机每秒可播 720 粒。

2025 年，约翰迪尔See & Spray 精准喷药技术应用面积超 500 万英亩，非残留除草剂用量减少 50%。报告引用爱荷华大学研究显示，仅 415 英亩土地便可节省 4700 加仑药液，减少 6500 美元除草剂成本。

其基于激光雷达的Smart Apply 智能喷洒系统可减少 93% 农药流失、87% 药液飘移，同时农药用量减半。

总部位于佐治亚州、拥有超 2.4 万名员工的爱科集团，研发出PTx FarmENGAGE等技术，可实现多品牌农机的田间数据与设备追踪同步。

其人工智能驱动的SymphonyVision 系统可减少 70% 除草剂用量，每英亩节省超 30 美元，谷物收割效率提升 33%。SeedSense、vDrive、SpeedTube、DeltaForce 等技术则实现近乎完美的 99% 单粒精量播种。

报告建议，未来政策制定者应继续支持监管体系、产权与知识产权体系建设，正是这些体系让美国在惠农技术及众多领域保持全球领先。美国承诺组织重申，将通过强有力的知识产权保护推动农业科技创新，让企业敢于投入、研发产品与创意。

美国承诺组织执行董事乔恩・德克尔写道：“政策制定者应助力美国农民与劳动者实现最大生产率提升。这既能带来国内食品降价、出口增长的经济繁荣，也能让美国主导下一代全球粮食生产体系，获得战略优势。”

Report: High-tech precision ag is a key to cutting farm costs

From: AGDAILY

As American households continue to face high food prices and farming communities contend with low margins, a new report from American Commitment argues that the most effective way to support American farmers and lower food prices is not through expanded subsidies or regulatory mandates, but through continued investment in U.S.-led agricultural innovation.

The report, The Right to Reap: Protecting the Innovation Keeping American Farms Competitive, examines the economics of U.S. agriculture by drawing on key data from the United States Department of Agriculture and the American Farm Bureau Federation and case studies of recent ag tech innovations. The report details concrete ways in which high-quality, high-tech American equipment is already directly helping farmers and producers reduce their use of expensive inputs, as well as the even greater potential impacts of continued progress yet to come.

To support and continue this success story, policymakers should support a smart regulatory framework and property rights protections that foster innovation and greater prosperity.

“Innovation in the agricultural sector is already lowering costs and increasing efficiency in food production,” said Phil Kerpen, president of American Commitment. “And the sector is ripe for even further benefits. The United States should continue to encourage investment in agricultural technology and protect farmers’ and all Americans’ right to reap the benefits.’”

The report opens by situating agriculture within the broader inflationary pressures that followed the 2021-22 surge in federal spending, describing the resulting inflation as “a stubbornly persistent challenge” for the cyclical farm economy.

These losses come at a time when the industry is more important than ever — accounting for 18.7 percent of the national economy and supporting more than 47 million jobs that consumers rely on to put food on the shelves.

According to U.S. Department of Agriculture data cited in the report, major crops such as corn, soybeans, cotton, and wheat have not been profitable since at least 2022, with projections showing growers could see roughly $44 billion in net cash income losses from their 2025–26 crops.

The data presented in the report highlight how sharply production costs have risen. A chart on page 4 shows total production expenses climbing to a forecasted $467 billion in 2025, including $69 billion for livestock feed, $34 billion for fertilizer, $16 billion for fuel and oil, and $54 billion for labor.

Diesel prices alone increased more than 27 percent from 2021 to 2023, while fertilizer costs remain elevated above pre-pandemic levels (AmerComm-HighTechAg2026). As one farmer put it, “even before tariffs, input costs were already high. Fertilizer, seed, chemical, equipment, fuel, and land costs remain elevated.

These financial strains matter beyond rural communities, especially when considering that agriculture generates more than $9.5 trillion in economic activity, comprises 18.7 percent of the national economy, and supports over 47 million jobs.

Precision agriculture as an inflation-fighter

Rather than advocating expanded direct aid, the report argues that high-tech, precision agriculture offers a durable solution. According to a 2025 report by the Association of Equipment Manufacturers, current adoption of precision technologies has driven a five percent boost in annual crop production, with an additional six percent potential gain if adoption increases.

The same research finds that precision agriculture has helped avoid cultivation of 11.4 million acres — roughly five times the size of Yellowstone National Park.

The cost savings are detailed in practical terms. An eight percent improvement in fertilizer optimization can save up to $20,000 per 1,000 acres. A seven percent reduction in fuel use saves $4,000 per 1,000 acres. A five percent reduction in water usage can save $16,000 per 1,000 acres. Herbicide volumes could decline by as much as 50 to 90 percent as adoption expands.

The report also notes that USDA and NSF provided nearly $200 million in precision agriculture R&D funding between 2017 and 2021, including AI-focused partnerships. Meanwhile, apprenticeships in the agriculture sector have increased by 56 percent over the past five years, reflecting rising demand for skilled technicians and advanced manufacturing workers.

“Technological breakthroughs in the agriculture sector have converged with advanced manufacturing,” the report explains, helping create demand for technicians, data specialists, equipment engineers, and skilled operators.

Case studies: John Deere and AGCO

The report devotes significant attention to two major American manufacturers: John Deere and AGCO.

John Deere, which employs approximately 30,000 people in the United States, recently announced a $20 billion investment to expand its domestic footprint with two new facilities. Among its flagship innovations is ExactShot, a fertilizer system that applies a precise dose directly onto each seed. Farmers using ExactShot can cut fertilizer use by up to 60 percent while maintaining yield. The system allows planters to release 30 seeds per second per row — 720 seeds per second on a 24-row planter.

John Deere’s See & Spray technology was used on more than five million acres in 2025, reducing non-residual herbicide use by 50 percent. A University of Iowa study cited in the report found savings of 4,700 gallons of tank mix and $6,500 in herbicide costs across just 415 acres.

Its LiDAR-based “Smart Apply” system has achieved up to 93 percent reductions in chemical runoff and 87 percent reductions in airborne drift while cutting chemical use in half.

AGCO, headquartered in Georgia and employing over 24,000 people, has developed technologies such as PTx FarmENGAGE, which synchronizes field data and equipment tracking across mixed fleets.

Its AI-powered SymphonyVision system can reduce herbicide use by as much as 70 percent, save more than $30 per acre, and increase grain harvesting efficiency by 33 percent. Other innovations, including SeedSense, vDrive, SpeedTube, and DeltaForce enable near-perfect 99 percent seed singulation rates.

Moving forward, the report encourages policymakers to continue support for the regulatory, property rights and intellectual property ecosystem that has made America the global leader in these pro-farmer advances and in many other sectors. American Commitment reiterates its support for advancing innovation within ag tech through strong protection for intellectual property that allows companies to develop and invest in their ideas and products.

“Policymakers should, therefore, aim to help U.S. farmers and workers capture the maximum productivity gains,” writes Jon Decker, Executive Director of American Commitment. “Doing so will provide both the economic prosperity and strategic leverage that comes with lower food prices at home, increased exports abroad and owning and leading the development of the next generation of systems to feed the world.”
