Farming in the cloud

A digital cloud, where critical farm management information is stored in cloud-based systems, means all data across all platforms are updated at the same time.
 
Agricultural data, whether it’s used for precision agriculture or to meet growing traceability requirements, is a vital piece of any farm’s toolkit. And having that information readily available at the farm office, in the barn or at a meeting, is critical to business success.
 
Working in the cloud
 
Cloud computing means having access to data or applications on any authorized device, anywhere with an internet connection.
 
The cloud brings the data to you when using a smartphone, tablet, desktop, or even a tractor or combine display. And with farm management apps, shared information is updated everywhere, at the same time.

What I’m Checking Behind the Planter This Spring

Video: What I’m Checking Behind the Planter This Spring



This is the first episode of a new behind-the-scenes series on our farm.

Today I’m checking behind the planter looking at planting depth, seed-to-soil contact, and making sure we’re placing seed into moisture, even in a dry spring.

Everything can look good from the cab, but this is where you find out what’s really happening.

We also ran into a prescription issue that slowed us down, which is a good reminder that even when conditions are ideal, the little things still matter.

If you’re planting right now, it’s worth taking a few minutes to check behind your planter.
