Bushel Farm

  • There is no free tier, only a 30 day trial

Ag Leader

  • Mostly hardware: displays, GPS receivers, steering systems and planter components, with the software layered on top
  • Pricing is not published and goes through dealers
  • The software is tied to Ag Leader equipment rather than being machine agnostic
