We sit down with Preston Sundean to trace a path from farm kid to precision ag educator and entrepreneur. We dig into teaching ADMS, turning data into fast prescriptions, and why critical thinking matters more than button sequences.

In this episode we discuss...
• Preston's North Dakota farm roots and agribusiness training
• Career moves from ag retail to precision ag education
• COVID pivot into entrepreneurship and insurance
• Running a classroom like a workplace
• The ADMS learning curve and teaching methods
• Turning soil tests into fertilizer prescriptions fast
• Wireless data transfer and mobile office workflows
• Creative ADMS uses for claims and small jobs
• Lawn care mapping, NAIP imagery, and bidding
• GPS limits, lightbars, foam markers, and as‑applied maps
• The case for critical thinking across tools

Stick around next week for part two of our conversation with Preston Sundeen.

At GK Technology, we have a map and an app for that!
