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: You Be The Judge: Evaluating 8 Breeding Rams!

It's time for some honest feedback here at Ewetopia Farms! Today, we’re showing you all eight rams we used for breeding this year. Instead of just presenting them, we thought it would be fun to create a “Ram Report Card” — where we point out both their strengths and areas for improvement.

But here’s the twist: you be the judge! In the comments, let us know what you like about each ram and what you think could be improved. No ram is ever perfect, but every one of them brings something valuable to the flock. By sharing perspectives, we all learn more about what to look for in good breeding stock.

At Ewetopia Farms, we raise registered Suffolk and Polled Dorset sheep, focusing on high-quality genetics, structure, and friendly temperaments. Evaluating breeding rams is part of the bigger picture of building stronger flocks — and we’re excited to share the process with you.
