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. Currently, chemical indicators such as sugar levels, acid content, and pH are used along with qualitative measures (e.g. skin tannins, aroma, and flavour) to monitor grape maturity. As grapes mature, ...
Through the Drought Watch Program, AAFC makes soil moisture, precipitation and other weather information available across Canada, and individual provinces in Western Canada also produce various weather maps, which are updated frequently during the growing season. These tools provide good general information, but for farmers who may live a distance from the stations where these ...
The value of data isn’t about how much of it you have; it’s about how you can use it. Data is only meaningful if a farmer or trusted advisor can solve problems and inform decisions with it. Treating your data the same way you would any of the rest of your farm equipment can help you develop an effective data management strategy that can deliver real value to your farm. Data is always ...
