Season 4 of the video series highlights the latest in agtech innovation and best practices in modern farming

THIEF RIVER FALLS, Minn. , Dec. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- DigiKey, the leading global electronic components and automation products distributor, announced the release of season 4 of its informative "Farm Different" video series. The series explores how the integration of advanced technology is reshaping and propelling the agricultural industry forward, and DigiKey is diving deep to understand its impact.

The new season of the video series, supported by Littelfuse and Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI), features three episodes that explore how the future of agriculture is evolving through data-driven technology, electrified equipment and rugged electronics. In episode two, which includes a special visit to North Dakota's Grand Farm, technologists, growers and researchers reveal how farming is advancing through smarter machines, resilient systems and innovative ideas. The third episode demonstrates how connected equipment and systems provide more clarity and resilience for farms today.

"As the relationship between knowledge, experience and technology evolves on farms around the world, DigiKey helps bridge the gap between engineering and application to introduce new solutions to the agtech industry," said Katie Pinke, supplier marketing manager at DigiKey. "It's no secret that growers continue to face challenges and harsh realities, but new technologies are forging an exciting path forward. This season shows the power and efficiency of electrification, autonomous tractors, robots and data-connected operations throughout agriculture, positively impacting the efficiency of family farms."

Building on the past three seasons, which explored topics including labor shortages, the food production pinch, sustainable growing practices, energy management, autonomous methods and more, this season continues to dive into the impact of advanced technology solutions on the next generation of farming. Season 4 covers:

• Episode 1 - Electrifying the Field: Powering Next-Gen Ag Equipment: Tractors, sprayers and other equipment are evolving with new components that are smarter, safer, and more reliable and efficient.
  
  "The future of farming is poised to be radically more intelligent, autonomous and sustainable," shared Mark Hubbard, senior field application engineer at Littelfuse. "Our team is helping power that transformation by delivering rugged, high-performance technologies that enable electrification, smart sensing and resilient energy management across agricultural platforms."
  
  
• Episode 2 - Future Fields: Innovation at Grand Farm: This testbed farm brings experts together to explore solutions for the advancement of the industry.
  
  "The next 10 years are going to be wild as regional farming might greatly differ just 50-100 miles away based on technology," noted Kyle Courtney, board member at Grand Farm. "Instinct or innate knowledge is still often used when making farm operation decisions, but advanced technology is enabling today's growers to take more of a scientific, strategic approach."
  
  
• Episode 3 – The Connected Acre: Smarter, Tougher, More Resilient: Testing and implementing new electronics in their operations are keeping growers agile and better prepared for the future.
  
  As the global demand for crops accelerates, precision technology, automation and robotics are streamlining processes, reducing labor and waste, and ushering in a new era of efficiency," said Harini Kumar, strategic marketing manager at ADI.
