Sticking to the Facts of Precision Agriculture

It's more difficult than ever to sift through accurate information these days.

In the Fall 2023 issue of the Precision Ag Digital Digest, we created a column 'Precision Agricultrue' to stick to the facts of modern farming.

We shed light on the global landscape of adoption, challenges and barriers to adoption, current and future market forecasts and most popular use cases.

But that's not all.

The Fall 2023 issue is full of innovation — we explore new AGCO products, a new digital soil moisture meter, nanotechnology's place in sustainable agriculture, a device to help swine producers monitor feed flow and so much more.

Oh, did we mention using bee's to apply fungicide? We cover that too.

Without further ado, we hope you enjoy the Fall 2023 Precision Agriculture Digital Digest — view it here!

Video: World Pork Expo: Tackling oxidative stress at critical stages in swine production

Dr. Marlin Hoogland, veterinarian and Director of Innovation and Research at Feedworks, speaks to The Pig Site's Sarah Mikesell just after World Pork Expo about how metabolic imbalance – especially during weaning, late gestation and disease outbreaks – can quietly undermine animal health and farm profitability.

In swine production, oxidative stress may be an invisible challenge, but its effects are far from subtle. From decreased feed efficiency to suppressed growth rates, it quietly chips away at productivity.

Dr. Hoogland says producers and veterinarians alike should be on alert for this metabolic imbalance, especially during the most physiologically demanding times in a pig’s life.
