Grain carts are an effective way to reduce equipment wear and field compaction. Why waste expensive combine hours stopping to unload onto trucks at the end of the field? Or worse, exposing your operation to yield loss by compacting the ground with trucks in the field? Both these practices waste precious harvest time and put unnecessary wear on your equipment. Grain carts stay on the field, ...
A typical field pivot irrigation system, with one pivot covering 120 acres Currently, grower faced difficulties in determining the best harvest time Pilot consisted of 36 Sensoterra probes, placed across 8 locations ...
Grape maturity monitoring is an important task as it is used to make one of the most critical decisions during the growing season - determining when grapes are likely to be ready for harvest. ...
Before probes came along, the typical scenario was to gather all the information, do your due diligence in putting together a variable rate prescription, apply it and then wait until harvest to measure the results. There was very little in-season in-crop management. ...
The health of your herd starts with good rumen management. Healthy cows perform better. Better performance can lead to greater production, and ultimately greater profitability. Without a well-functioning rumen, your herd could be more susceptible to a variety of health complications and costly expenses. Two things are vital when it comes to optimal rumen health: a stable, active, and healthy ...
Each dairy farmer has their own philosophy around the best way to raise calves. Every farm is different, and what works best on one farm may not work on another. Regardless of system, there are general guidelines that apply to any successful calf raising operation. When these guidelines are not followed, bottlenecks are created that impair growth and productivity. Because your system is ...
Details: Kyminasi Plant Booster (KPB) technology was installed on 4 acres of their blueberries in December 2019 and harvested in August 2020. Post-harvest quality measurements were completed after 30 days of storage at ...
Supported by the Ministry of Agriculture the verification of energy crops by harvesting, monitoring the growth quality, promotion and consulting service on biomass utilization had been carried on in year 2005, 2006 and is onward in ...
Jeff Brown, a farmer from Blue Mound, Ill., pays special attention to his yield monitor not just before harvest, but throughout the season. He calibrates it between different crops, varieties with differing maturities, and when harvest moisture is expected to move up and down. Generally, machine yield monitor manufacturers and ...
The AutoStack, and now the AutoStack II, use an automated Ultra Steer system to guide the harvester with precision while the operator watches over all aspects of the harvesting process. ...
Or, if you’re using a Precision Planting 20/20 YieldSense monitor, ensure that is properly connected to FieldView. Calibrate Your Yield Monitor for Harvest How long has it been since you calibrated your yield monitor? Even if you just calibrated it during growing season, it still needs to be recalibrated for ...
Recently, Kondex was faced with a field testing requirement that the OEM was unable to execute for cost reasons, though it was critical to our ability to supply thermal sprayed cutting components for its combine harvester. A great deal of scrutiny is placed on cutting components utilizing thermal spray hardfacing; if the hardfacing process is not carried out properly, the cutting edge will lose ...
Solution 2500+ Plots audited and geo tagged to find the actual plot area Remote Sensing and Weather Advisory helped in detection of dew point, rainfall, frost, blight and other challenges related to dehaulming Gathering Complete information from farmer registration till harvest end Scheduling and monitoring farm activities for complete traceability ...
Challenge One of the largest online food and grocery store that is determined to create an organic revolution in India. The company wanted to monitor its farms and ensure that the crops are grown organically. They were struggling with lower output yield and were looking for a farm management solution for ensuring traceability and strengthening sustainability. Solution ...
In the following article, we describe an independent test conducted to evaluate the effect of different conservation techniques, including the ethylene removal with potassium permanganate media, on the quality of Golden Japan plums. The Golden Japan plum variety is appreciated for its golden colour, firm texture, and taste, which is sweet, aromatic and refreshing.Plum is a climateric fruit, so ...
What Roles Do Weight Scales Play in Agriculture? At harvest time, most growers need to know how much yield their lands produce. This is one area where weight scales come into play. They help to measure harvested crop in order to know how much is available for them to sell in a given season. This information can be used to keep track of yields for different ...
From an engineering perspective, harvesting stover as a major feedstock appears quite favorable, but the Billion Ton Report (BTR) projections raised many concerns among soil scientists that harvesting excessive corn stover could reduce crops yields directly or indirectly by diminishing total organic carbon levels until soil’s production capacity was ...
Crop height, maturity, and soil moisture status were monitored throughout the growing season in each location. At harvest, a subplot consisting of one harvest row measuring 3 m in length was removed from each plot and handpicked to determine cotton boll distribution in each plot. ...
Bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum Flügge) cultivars are daylength sensitive and have minimal cool-season production. A new bahiagrass breeding line is less daylength sensitive and more cold tolerant, but its dry matter (DM) yield and nutritive value responses to defoliation treatments are unknown. A 3-yr field experiment studied effects of two stubble heights (4 and 8 cm) and two harvest frequencies ...
In major strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) production areas, fruit are harvested continuously for 4 to 6 mo. During the season, weekly yields vary. To improve weekly forecasts, a yield prediction equation was developed for ‘Strawberry Festival’ using input variables derived from flower counts and temperature data over two seasons in Florida. Weekly yields are dependent on the number, size, and ...
