The Summer 2024 issue of the Farms.com Precision Ag Digital Digest has been released.

View it here.

It has been an interesting start to 2024 regarding ag tech and precision ag developments.

In the Spring 2024 issue, we covered four main areas: sprayer developments, planting innovations, retrofitted upgrades, and baling technologies.

For the Summer 2024 issue, we decided to break away from categorization and focus on a variety of developments in the industry.

From farm data management and autonomous tractor offerings to digital agronomy applications and equipment connectivity via SATCOM, we've got you covered (...literally).

Let’s dive in.

For starters, New Holland recently released a new farm data management platform dubbed FieldOps. It brings real-time monitoring, remote display viewing and other features into one package for users.

Sabanto brought autonomy to the John Deere 5075E.

GROWMARK and Intelinair partner on a new digital agronomy app.

CNH Industrial is soon to offer farmers access to the internet via SATCOM.

AGCO gives us an inside perspective on its PTx venture.

John Deere chats precision ag upgrades for its sprayers.

The Bits & Bytes section has some quick reads, and the PAG Tech Clips section is full of video.

We hope you enjoy the Summer 2024 Farms.com Precision Ag Digital Digest — view it here.

Video: Making budget friendly pig feed on a small livestock farm

I am going to show you how we save our farm money by making our own pig feed. It's the same process as making our cattle feed just with a slight adjustment to our grinder/ mixer that makes all the difference. We buy all the feed stuff required to make the total mix feed. Run each through the mixer and at the end of the process we have a product that can be consumed by our pigs.

I am the 2nd generation to live on this property after my parents purchased it in 1978. As a child my father hobby farmed pigs for a couple years and ran a vegetable garden. But we were not a farm by any stretch of the imagination. There were however many family dairy farms surrounding us. So naturally I was hooked with farming since I saw my first tractor. As time went on, I worked for a couple of these farms and that only fueled my love of agriculture. In 2019 I was able to move back home as my parents were ready to downsize and I was ready to try my hand at farming. Stacy and logan share the same love of farming as I do. Stacy growing up on her family's dairy farm and logans exposure of farming/tractors at a very young age. We all share this same passion to grow a quality/healthy product to share with our community. Join us on this journey and see where the farm life takes us.
