  1. Monsanto’s Key Contributions to Precision Agriculture By Kaitlyn Nelson

  2. Monsanto, the seed company? Double yields by 2030 Three focus areas: Breeding Biotechnology Agronomics Integrated Farming Systems Precision Planting FieldScripts

  3. Integrated Farming Systems Combines genetics and equipment technology to maximize yields

  4. Integrated Farming Systems

  5. Step 1: Precision Planting • Acquired May 2012 • Independent subsidiary of Monsanto • Integral part of the Integrated Farming Systems • Products • Keeton Seed Firmer • WaveVision • 20/20 SeedSense Monitor • FieldView app for iPad

  6. 20/20 SeedSense Monitor • Correct hidden mechanical problems • Adjust meters, vacuum pressure, transmissions and speed • Improve productivity with accuracy at higher speeds • Adjust down force

  7. FieldViewfor iPad • Real time, row-by-row maps of planter performance • Connects straight to 20/20 SeedSense monitor • FieldView Plus adds sharing capabilties

  8. Step 2: FieldScripts • First product from IFS platform • Creates yield management zone map based on yield history & fertility test • Selects best hybrid based on map & a proprietary algorithm • Prescribes variable rate seeding based on field & hybrid

  9. FieldScripts: Yield Data • Focusing on plant density – combining row spacing & plant population • 40 hybrids at 5 populations from 23,000 ppa to 43,000 ppa & 2 row spacings, 20” & 30” on 60 sites, varying in yield potential

  10. FieldScripts: Equipment • 20/20 SeedSense monitor & planter control system • FieldView app • Integration with other companies in the future

  11. FieldScripts: How to Get Them • On-farm trials in 2013 in Indiana, Illinois, Iowa & Minnesota • Wide release to come in 2014 • DeKalb dealers provide technical support & act as an advisor to each grower

  12. The Future for IFS • Beginning stages • Variable rate NPK based on management zones • In-season fertility & disease management • Yield monitoring advances

  13. “Science and the world’s best genetics married to the world’s best planter technology. That’s going to be the key to success.” -Gregg SauderFounder of Precision Planting
