Precision Farm Management Made Easy

Oct 01, 2021

At the sixth annual Great Ontario Yield Tour sponsored by Farms.com, Luca Gallo, the precision farms sales specialist for Ontario and Quebec with Case IH reviewed his company’s new website and described how it can help farmers get more from their precision farming equipment.

The new www.mycaseih.com website is a Cloud-based web portal designed to be the one-stop shop for owner management of their own precision technology farming equipment.

A fleet management and data management tool, with just a single, completely free account and username, the website allows users access to the Case IH parts store; the website itself plus an industrial capital site, as well as access to the user’s My Case IH file and AFS Connect.

AFS Connect is a connectivity solution that utilizes elements of Case IH farming system technology to link a user’s farm, fleet and data. It is available on any Case IH combine or tractor than can be fitted with telematics technology.

The Fleet Management portal allows owners, managers and operators to monitor a machine’s data, including fuel consumption, engine speed, temperatures, hours of use, and even when service is due—all in near-real time, and all available via in-cab display, web portal or an app.

All equipment monitored by My Case IH has its data constantly recorded and analyzed and updated automatically.

Users can receive customized phone text alerts should the vehicle be found to be operating outside of any pre-determined parameters, such as if the engine rpm is too high—which aids in scheduling maintenance.

Because all data is recorded and sent to the Cloud, real-time data users can analyze a working machine to discover any possible issues. If permission is granted by the user, data can be shared to the machine dealer to quickly resolve any possible issues. Galla pointed out that all data gathered belongs solely to the equipment owner.

Video: Our Own On-Farm Research Is the Best Source - Managing White Mold in Northeast Nebraska

If you assumed Nebraska was too hot and dry for white mold to be a problem in soybeans, think again.

This week we're featuring Galen Samuelson, a farmer and dealer from Wakefield, Nebraska, who knows all too well how devastating white mold can be.

"We don't have it consistently every year, but with our temperature and humidity, it can hurt us quite bad," Samuelson says. Looking for alternatives, he explains, "What I like about Heads Up is that it's non-harmful to the beneficial fungal colonies in the soil." Galen has been using Heads Up for several years now, after first hearing about it through a small ad in a regional newspaper. Watch below to hear about his journey.

When asked to write about Samuelson Seed, Galen said the following:

"Samuelson Seed is a 4th-generation, family-based company. It started with my grandfather, and I'm now starting to pass the torch to my son, Caleb."

"In the early 1990s, I started working with a company whose focus was on plant and soil health before those benefits were widely known. I've continued to keep plant and soil health the main focus in our farming operation decisions."
