Nipawin Canola Plant Closed For A Month Due To Fire

Bunge hopes to have its Nipawin canola oil crushing plant back in full operation in about a month.
 
This following a fire last Tuesday that damaged processing equipment inside one building where the fire occurred.
 
A Bunge North America spokesperson in St. Louis says the company has also resumed taking canola deliveries from area farmers.
 
The Nipawin crush plant and refinery is an important delivery location for farmers and a significant employer in the area.
 
It also plays a key role at harvest with growers as an off-the-combine delivery option.

Video: What Is Remote Sensing In Precision Agriculture? - The World of Agriculture

What Is Remote Sensing In Precision Agriculture? In this informative video, we will dive into the fascinating world of remote sensing and its role in precision agriculture. Remote sensing technology allows farmers to gather critical information about their fields without the need for physical presence. By utilizing satellites, drones, and aircraft equipped with advanced sensors, farmers can monitor various aspects of their crops, from temperature and moisture levels to overall plant health.

We will explore how the data collected through remote sensing can empower farmers to make strategic decisions for their crops. With the ability to identify specific areas that require more water or nutrients, farmers can optimize resource usage, leading to healthier plants and improved yields.

Moreover, remote sensing plays a vital role in tracking crop growth over time. By comparing images taken at different growth stages, farmers can evaluate their crops’ development and adjust their management practices accordingly.
