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: 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.
