To ensure a successful planting season, preparation is key. The ideal season is one in which operations are efficient, waste is minimized, and farm profitability is maximized. Precision Agriculture Technology can help in all of these areas, making your life easier and your farming operation smoother.
We know that getting your crops into the ground on time is your top priority. Growing season has its challenges, but precision agriculture can help you take the guesswork out of farming by helping you farm more efficiently and make data-driven decisions anytime, anywhere. Precision agriculture can help you prepare your fields, accurately sample soil, ensure seeds are planted accurately, help you manage seeding speed, and minimize waste when applying fertilizer. These things can help your operations run more smoothly, save you valuable time and money, and help you spend more time with your family.
Myth: Overlapping fields are just part of farming with multiple pieces of farm equipment, especially when fields are irregularly shaped.
Fact: Guidance And Steering Systems can significantly reduce the amount of overlap (or jump) in a field. Not only do you save on fuel costs, but seeding and spraying are more accurate. You can choose to go the assisted-steering route or go full automation to remain hands-free, ensuring you can keep an eye on other devices. We recommend the HD408 Autopilot Navigation System to help you accurately navigate irregularly shaped fields.
Myth: The type of soil sampling I do works well for me. It tells me everything I need to know about the soil.
Fact: Soil sampling can certainly be beneficial in helping make the decisions that need to be made, especially when using managed random sampling or baseline sampling. Users can work with any soil laboratory and import soil test results using our streamlined process.
Myth: Yield monitoring is not worth the money. I don't want to invest in something that I'm not even sure how accurate it is.
Fact: Yield monitors assist with different agricultural practices such as seed selection, future plots, fertilizer removal rates, grain loads and automatic cutting width, then display this information on a monitor in the tractor cab. This input is then formatted into a yield map that can show which areas of your farm are more profitable and then help you get other areas to where they should be. As for determining whether yield monitors are worth it, their cost depends largely on how you use them. Many farmers find that they pay for themselves after just one year.
Myth: Spreading uniform seeds across my field is really the only option for small-scale farmers.
Fact: Variable rate technology (VRT) is useful no matter how big your farm is. VRT allows you to apply the optimal type and amount of seed to any specific area of your field. This practice also applies to chemicals and fertilizers. Lower investment costs when combined with the Huida Tech ISOBUS liquid control system. You can use these input records to help make future decisions. No doubt there is some trial and error involved, but over time the savings from reducing input costs and eliminating overlap can add up to huge returns.
Myth: Data integration isn't worth it. The learning curve is too big and not worth my time.
The Truth: While we know data integration can certainly be tricky, with a little understanding of how it works and a little patience, it can really transform a farm's day-to-day operations. Some tips we have to offer are ensuring all systems are compatible, regularly calibrating and maintaining your technology solutions, understanding the technology you are using, and researching high-speed internet options in your area. Huida Tech ISOBUS technology ensures connectivity so that all your devices can communicate with each other, regardless of device brand. As always, we highly recommend contacting your local Huida Tech dealer to discuss the options that are best for your specific farming operation.
