Where do Sensing Technologies Fit into a Farmers Program?

This overview discusses the pivotal role of sensing technologies in enhancing farm productivity. By fine-tuning high-yield production systems, farmers can adopt effective crop risk management strategies, evaluate soil nitrogen contributions, and manage manure and organic materials better. The approach also highlights how sensors assist in assessing crop quality and environmental management practices, focusing on spatial variability, drought risks, and nutrient loss management. Ultimately, leveraging sensors can lead to more precise farming, optimizing resources, and improving overall crop performance.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Where do Sensing Technologies Fit into a Farmers Program?

  2. Where Do Sensors Fit • Fine Tuning High Yield Production Systems • Crop Risk Management • Evaluating Soil N Contributions • Manure/Organics Management • Crop Quality • Environmental Management

  3. Where Do Sensors Fit • Fine Tuning High Yield Production Systems • Spatial variability

  4. Where Do Sensors Fit • Crop Risk Management • Drought risk, the KState sorghum approach • N Loss potential • Be able to figure out how much extra N may be needed in wet years • Be able to patch up the holes in variable fields

  5. Where Do Sensors Fit • Evaluating Soil N Contributions: do soil tests even work? • Carry over N • An alternative to profile N sampling, which farmers won’t do. • Mineralized N • Soybean credits • Organic matter contributions • An open winter

  6. Where Do Sensors Fit • Manure/Organics Management • Do we really know what’s in manure? • Do we really know how much was put on? • Distribution? • Mineralization rate? • Volatilization of ammonia?

  7. Where Do Sensors Fit • Crop Quality • Protein content in wheat • Potato tuber size

  8. Where Do Sensors Fit • Environmental Management • Shallow unprotected groundwater zones • Hypoxia • Protection against over tweaking

  9. Where Do Sensors Fit • Fine Tuning High Yield Production Systems • Crop Risk Management • Evaluating Soil N Contributions • Manure/Organics Management • Crop Quality • Environmental Management
