Provide reliable precision ag tools and services that improve farm profitability
and collect data for better management decisions.
Precision Farming Solutions was formed in July of 2009, by Rick Applegate. Rick saw the need in the area for local sales and support of aftermarket precision ag hardware and services. As our mission states, we pride ourselves on providing technology related tools and services that can improve your bottom line. Our focus is on making your operations more efficient and more profitable.
Rick was born and raised in north central Indiana near the town of North Manchester and grew up helping his family and working on several other local farms. In the fall of 2001, Rick started at Purdue University where he studied Agricultural Systems Management (ASM) and also met his wife, Annette. By the spring of 2005 Rick earned a bachelors degree in ASM with a minor in Farm Management, and an Associates degree in Agronomy. After graduating from Purdue, Rick went to work for John Deere Harvester Works, traveling with experimental combines, and also working in the engine dyno test lab. Late in 2007, Rick and Annette moved back to Annette’s home town here in southern Indiana. And, in the summer of 2009, Precision Farming Solutions LLC was born. Rick and Annette have two children, Olivia (12), Ethan (5).
I thought the training session was very good, and worthwhile. I haven’t had a chance to do any more work with the program, but hope to this week. The program is incredibly powerful.

We have been very happy with the products and especially the service we have received from Rick Applegate with Precision Farming Solutions. The Ag Leader products he sells are intuitive to use and are able to perform most of the tasks we have needed them to do. Rick’s knowledge of the products he sells is excellent and he has been able to walk us through almost any problem we have encountered right there on the phone. He has become my “first phone call” concerning precision ag equipment and services.

Rick installed an Ag leader system in our sprayer and later in our combine. We had no past experience with "precision farming" so we were not sure we could ever learn it but Rick walked us through the system and answered many, many phone calls. We would highly recommend Rick for any precision farming purchases.

This steering system you installed just flat works all the time, much better than my old EZ Guide.
