Using data from your farm to help make future plans and decisions

by | Nov 7, 2022 | 5 Ag Stories, News

Technology has helped to improve farming in many ways. One of the ways in which technology is helping farmers is through data collection and using that data to make forecasts about a farming operation.

Farm record keeping has changed drastically in the past two decades. In the past farmers took notes on data such as inputs during the growing season and yield numbers at harvest time. Now farmers have much more precise tools for exact measurements and real time data readouts that can update a producer on each individual acre.

That?s Ron Cowman, head of North America digital ag solutions with Syngenta, who says that farmers have wanted to have a central hub for all of their data that allows them to see the whole picture of their operation.

As producers are able to track their data more precisely it has also allowed farmers to use their inputs more efficiently and to make spending decisions in areas that need it most.
