The Quest for Greater Intelligence
Manage episode 432995258 series 3369086
Margins for farmers are tight, so there’s more emphasis than ever on finding innovative new ways to innovate and stay in the black.
Dave Handsaker is with AGNETWORX in Iowa, which helps efficiently connect farmers to new technology and better understand its effectiveness.
He said, with corn and soybean prices down, growers are especially interested in increased efficiencies and maximizing production wherever possible.
Matt Rohlik with ARVA Intelligence helps boost revenue for growers, by making them aware of incentives available from consumer-packaged goods companies to help sustainability through agronomic practices, including reducing commercial or synthetic inputs, split applying nitrogen, foliar feeding, tillage, cover crops and biologicals.
Shane Forney with Sentinel Fertigation helps growers maximize efficiency by leveraging satellite imagery to help growers improve nitrogen recommendations throughout the growing season, all done without a negative impact on yields.
Handsaker, Rohlik, and Forney were among the speakers at the Farmer Innovation Forum in Omaha, presented by Redox.
