Connectivity and Precision Agriculture in SW Ontario Crop Farming

Researchers at the Ontario Agricultural College in the Regional and Rural Broadband (R2B2) project are working on a study of how current and future connectivity influences the adoption of Precision Agriculture (PA) technologies among crop farmers in South Western Ontario.

 If you are a farm operator growing field crops in SW Ontario who is currently using, or not yet using, PA technologies you are invited to participate in the e-survey:

 The objective is to analyze the extent to which access to high-speed internet, or lack thereof, serves as an enabler/barrier to the adoption of various PA applications.

 The study is funded by Agriculture and Agri-food Canada’s (AAFC) Innovation and Growth Policy Division (IGPD).

Updates on this project will be posted on R2B2project.ca site.

John Deere Forage Harvester Walk Around | 2026 United States Custom Harvesters Convention

I recently attended the 2026 United States Custom Harvester Convention in Des Moines Iowa. All of the forage harvester manufacturers did a product walk around of their machines. I have already uploaded the Claas, Krone and New Holland product walk arounds and this is the final one for forage harvesters. I will soon be sharing all of the combine walk-arounds from the convention.
