The evolution of technology has revolutionised modern-day farming, but just how beneficial can it be for managing inputs? CPM explores the concept.

With input costs elevated and looking likely to stay that way...
Do you actually use: drone scanning technology, 3D mapping, temperature and moisture sensors, farming data, or any of the "modern sophisticated farming equipment" that engineering blog posts talk about. I'd love to hear whether this stuff is actually used or just bull-crap.
The brief: convert a 2015 'Redcad' sprayer with existing RDS-34i spray rate control and Hypro 'Duo React' twin line nozzles on air (6x4m sections), to ideally RTK (NTRIP) auto steer and GPS section control.
I'm happy to keep the RDS-34i rate controller, but I'm wondering if Field IQ could...
Precision agriculture systems are dynamically developing management systems. They allow farmers to solve a whole spectrum of problems. At the same time, precision agriculture includes a wide range of tools that growers need to master to get the most out of their production.
What Is Precision...
Crop protection helps to keep plants healthy and maintain sustainable yields. The choice of plant protection strategy depends on the type of cultures grown and the threat. It can be diseases, insects, or weeds. At the same time, measures must be timely and, wherever possible, preventive. Modern...
Erosion degrades soil quality and is a major reason for farmland loss in the world. Understanding soil erosion causes and its mechanisms will slow down field destruction. Its effects can be quite severe, but prevention and reduction measures, as well as early problem detection, will mitigate the...
Before applying fertilizers, many farmers conduct a soil nutrient analysis. Doing so helps identify soil acidity, its humus content, as well as micro- and macroelements. It also helps determine how much fertilizer to apply and in which part of the field. It seems pretty straightforward. But most...
I'm looking into alternatives to soyl for my variable everything package I currently have with them.
Who's in the market for variable N,P,K, lime, seed, yield maps?
Is it possible to get a task controller that replaces the quantron to change the spreader to iso bus.
Just got an iso screened tractor but it won't talk to the spreader.
Got VRA and section control unlocked.
Ideally I would like to still be able to use the spreader as it is.
We are upgrading our drill. We have an ISOBUS capable New Holland with steering etc done through an aftermarket FMX 750. We want to be able to do VRA. Is it possible to export an NMEA output from a FMX 750 screen and then use the inteliview IV screen for vra prescriptions and ISOBUS control?
TIA
Hi all,
Has anybody heard about augmenta field analyzer system? The system offers to apply solid or liquid nitrogen variably in real time. I'm planning to buy one, so a few users feedback (if there is) would be nice.
I'm curoius about does it actually works?

Hi all,
I’d like to hear what people’s experiences have been like with variable rate N.
I’ve been looking at the Yara Atfarm system and it looks quite accessible for the likes of me (not into too much tech and not farming 1000’s of acres).
I’m not looking at this because of the current N...
I've been dragged down a rabbit hole and wondered if anyone had already been? Her thoughts to me seem revolutionary but I've searched the forum and there's not a great deal of chatter about her ideas.
Just wondering if there are any opinions or anyone seen any trial data?
Maybe is a old thread on this

Hi all,
anyone have a really simple reason why a Vaderstad Rapid 800 with isobus and e-control will not show up in a 943MT Vario screen?
Drill normally runs on the e-control via the iPad system but want to do VR so figured would switch isobus task control to the vario screen and load ISOXML...
Helping a mate (never try this at home! )
Before I email anyone at Kuhn. Does anyone know the part number for iPad to Quantron S2 for VRA or even if it’s possible?
