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: Exploring Precision Data in Swine Production - Dr. Janice Siegford

In this episode of The Swine it Podcast Show, Dr. Janice Siegford from Michigan State University discusses how precision livestock farming data can support pig health, welfare, transparency, and decision making. She explains why data ownership, privacy, consumer perception, and cost sharing must be addressed as technology becomes more common on farms. Listen now on all major platforms.

“Precision livestock farming data can support producers, veterinarians, certifiers, and consumers by enabling improved monitoring, prediction, and decision-making across the entire production system.”
