Digitalization? That's nothing new.

Felix Meyer-Hullmann took his first steps in digital farming with CLAAS back in 2013. The aim was to clearly distinguish between the farm business and the biogas business by separating the work and accounting. To do this, they needed more clearly structured task planning and automatic documentation instead of time-consuming manual entry.
