Corn's unexpected turnaround predicted by Gro

Aug 12, 2023

Last year, Gro Intelligence made a bold prediction about corn yields. Their prediction was lower than most other estimates, but it turned out to be more accurate.

This highlights Gro's unique strength: melding data analytics with traditional farming wisdom. 2023 started with its fair share of farming challenges, from drought conditions to inconsistencies, casting shadows of doubt over the corn yield.

Yet, Gro Intelligence offers a ray of hope. Their recent Digital Yield Tour pegged the corn yield at a promising 177.0 bpa as of Aug. 8. Particularly noteworthy were the yield numbers for Illinois (197.3 bpa) and Nebraska (189.5 bpa) - states that had difficult beginnings to the crop season.

These numbers are better than expected and suggest that we could have a record corn yield this year. With everyone eagerly awaiting USDA's in-depth reports for a clearer picture, Gro's data-driven insights stand as a beacon of accuracy and optimism.

Gro Intelligence's method of combining data analysis with on-the-ground knowledge is the best way to predict crop yields in modern agriculture.

Video: Air Command Section Control for Pro-Force Spreaders

This patented section control system uses air to divert material on to different areas of the spinner disks for precise 4-section control, for an economical design by eliminating the need for added conveyor belts or movable spreader components. The section control uses the Raven RCM ISOBUS controller and a customer’s field boundary and coverage map to automatically turn off any of the four sections at any time to avoid applying valuable fertilizer in areas where it’s not needed.

This results in fertilizer savings which means more money in your pocket for a maximum Return On Investment. The powerful blower fan sends air through a 4-section manifold while the conveyor automatically speeds up or slows down as sections are turned on or off for consistent and precise fertilizer application.

• The revolutionary patented Air Command section control utilizes a pneumatic system to accurately place fertilizer onto the spinner disks to give you individualized 4-section control of your spread pattern.

• Pinpoint accuracy of four individual sections allows you to operate the system with ease. This robust design with few moving parts offers no gimmicks, just real-world results.

• The new Air Command section control option is available on pull-type models 2250 and 1850 with the new PTO drive system, and on 1450, 1250 and 1050 pull-type models with standard single hydraulics.

• Continue to do it all with the Unverferth pull-type Pro-Force Spreader. Use the Air Command section control for spreading fertilizer and in-seeding applications, while converting to single-section lime or litter application in a matter of minute
