Modern Technology in Agriculture The precision farming and technological revolution in agriculture began in the late 20th century with advances in GPS-location tracking technology. Row-crop farmers, for the first time, were able to collect data based on pinpoint locations in a field and use satellite control to auto-steer their tractors. ...

But here’s the thing: cereals are no different than row crops or canola. If you want to get the most from your land – and let’s face it with today’s land and input prices, that’s the only way to survive in agriculture – you need to put the right number of seeds in the ground. ...
2020 year, heavy rains in early spring and subsequent drought right until the harvesting period. Even in this difficult period, MAXIMARIN multi-injection mechanisms for application of UAN fertilizers into the soil have proved their efficiency for early grain ...
It is no surprise that the advancement of technology in agriculture has shifted how farms operate over the last 20 years. In response to these changes, women have continued to rise up and perform in the ag tech world. Their efforts support transformational advancements that empower growers to improve their operations with every season. To celebrate the contribution women make to precision ag, ...
Patrick: In your experience, how important is soil monitoring in the optimization of crop yield, crop quality, energy efficiency, and water efficiency? Nich: You can’t manage what you can’t measure. ...

Fertilizer producers, through product differentiation and diversification, can also mitigate their exposure to the cyclical nature of the commodity fertilizer market, and insulate themselves from price volatility and/or market shocks in specific agricultural segments (staples, row crops, etc). Shifting production to water-soluble fertilizers (WSFs) and ...
Garford can provide products to cater for those on single bed drilling practices, with a triple bed, triple section inter row hoe. With the use of the famous Robocrop guidance system with high accuracy and high output per day, Garford have the ability to use three independent guidance systems working separately to guide your machine down the inter row of your ...
At a time when grain markets continue to strain row crop revenue potential, many farmers are taking steps to do all they can to maximize productivity and yields. Excess water is a common yield robber with corn and other crops. For farmers with heavy, moisture-retaining soils, or slow draining areas in a field, installing drainage tile can ...
A row feeler solution that works with the Ag Leader display in your combine? ...
We looked at everything from livestock to getting back into specialty row crops for brewing. We stumbled upon hemp about twelve months ago, at the start of the first full season here in North Carolina. ...

Will Hutchinson enjoys a good challenge, especially when it comes to improving production on his row crop, wheat and alfalfa farm near Murfreesboro, Tennessee. So when he saw the opportunity to leverage Ag Leader’s Hydraulic Down Force system to prevent a common problem and improve his planting operations on acres where he plants cover ...
Water is the most precious resource for growing crops, and having a soil that is unable to absorb water is crippling for farmers. ...

The presence of orderly arranged rows and spacing of crop vegetation increases the anisotropy of the Earth's surface, and affects the resistance of the surface to overland flow. ...
Nearly 80% of all pesticides applied to row crops are herbicides, and these applications pose potentially significant ecotoxicological risks to non‐target plants and associated pollinators. In response to the widespread occurrence of weed species resistant to glyphosate, biotechnology companies have developed crops resistant to the ...
The use of flood and center pivot irrigation of crops via the waters of the Ogallala Aquifer is as hot a discussion topic as the current drought. ...
Sprinkler irrigation, using the center-pivot systems that are widely seen in the crop circles in the western U.S. Great Plains, and drip irrigation are far more efficient. ...
Prevalence of TO in LMB from Delmarva lakes was comparable to the highest levels reported in a national USGS reconnaissance of this species, which also occurred in regions of the Atlantic coastal plain with intensive row crop and animal agriculture. To our knowledge, this represents the first report in the peer‐reviewed scientific literature of TO in fish on the ...
While price support policies varied in form over the years, they were generally used tools that in one way or other managed the supply of various agricultural products. For the major row crops, the price support policies were based on a non-recourse loan rate—established in legislation or a formula written into the legislation—that allowed the ...
The type of agriculture is also intensive with primarily row crops that have high chemical fertilizer and pesticide usage. In light of these stressors, the hypothesis of this study was that mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus) population parameters would change with point and non‐point source pollution, and that multivariate statistics could be used to draw ...
The objective of this study was to examine nonpoint-source pollution (NPSP) reduction as influenced by agroforestry buffers in watersheds under grazing and row crop management. The grazing study consists of six watersheds in the Central Mississippi Valley wooded slopes and the row crop study site consists of three watersheds in ...
