When it comes to agriculture, weather is an important aspect that determines crop health and yield. Unpredictable weather patterns pose a continuous challenge to farms, often leading to substantial crop losses and financial setbacks. However, with the innovation of advanced technology, leveraging weather data in agriculture has become a critical ...
Heritage Farms, led by manager Allan Smirl for over a decade, has continuously sought innovative ways to improve their operations. In 2014, the farm began a partnership with Decisive Farming to enhance decision-making processes impacting the farm’s ...
Monitoring soil health is essential for farmers to make informed decisions about crop management practices, fertilizer application, and irrigation strategies. ...

Benefits of having multiple years of information when crop planning You operate in an age of data-driven farming. The question is: how do you manage all of your information? ...
Up your defenses against unpredictable Mother Nature with an on-farm weather station’s accurate weather monitoring, forecasting and historical data There’s a long-enduring sentiment in Canadian agriculture that when farmers gather, they’re usually talking about the weather. ...
Digital record-keeping supports stronger farm teams We’ve evolved from the days of working in our heads or writing things down. Data-driven farming technologies are creating opportunities in an evolving landscape where access to real-time, instantly shareable information is a must for optimal performance. Thanks to digital-record keeping, entire farm teams can now work on the same page ...
Technology will probably never completely replace the need to physically observe your crops to assess their health or any potential risk factors. But, technology can work in harmony with commercial farmers and growers to enhance crop management, increase yields and improve profitability. If you are still using a pen and paper, a whiteboard or ...
Western Canada has a short growing season which makes another pass for top dressing fertilizer sometimes difficult to achieve. Many crops have the fertilizer applied during the seeding season with Liquid Distribution Systems, (like these kits we make here). Often this will meet the crops fertilizer requirements for the whole season. Making one pass makes sense in a season that brings the right ...
This study compares the environmental constraints related to FS and GR produced in an experimental farms (Campania region), by means of an attributional LCA approach, through an appropriate modelling of the perennial cultivation. For both crops, primary data were available for agricultural management while direct field emissions (DFE's) were ...
Rising research costs, broadening goals, intellectual property rights, and other concerns increase the need for robust management of crop improvement data. The data model of the International Crop Information System (ICIS) allows breeding processes to be recorded unambiguously in a relational database. This paper ...
The AquaCrop model was developed to replace the former FAO I&D Paper 33 procedures for the estimation of crop productivity in relation to water supply and agronomic management in a framework based on current plant physiological and soil water budgeting concepts. This paper presents the software of AquaCrop for which the concepts and underlying principles are ...
