Predicting Soil Health Across New York: New Data Tools for Smarter Land Use and Resilient Farming

Healthy soils are essential for agriculture, clean water, and climate adaptation, but they vary across landscapes and change over time. Until now, it’s been difficult to disentangle all the important factors (climate, inherent soil properties, and land use and management) that influence soil health.

Video: Time to save the crop with fungicide!

This year we are using a drone to do our application to help ensure that we can be timely and protect our investment. Miravis Neo helps corn and soybeans stay cleaner and greener through harvest for greater potential yield and ROI.
