Send in your precision farming questions
Grainews is starting a "Precision Q&A" where readers can send in questions about precision farming. Precision farming can be anything you do to treat each field differently. As you get more into precision, you'll start to treat areas within each field differently. That's when you get into mapping and eventually variable-rate technology. Precision farming is about collecting field performance data and then applying that data to improve yields or reduce costs or both.
I welcome any questions, from the basics for farmers taking their first precision steps to the more nitty gritty details that will help a more experienced precision farmer get better results.
I've got three experts signed on so far to help out: Pam Haegeman, a GIS technician with the R.G. Mazer Group in Brandon, Man., Terry Aberhart, a precision whiz with Agri-Trend in Langenburg, Sask., and Warren Bills of GeoFarm Solutions in Calgary.
E-mail your questions to me at jay@fbcpublishing.com and we'll get this thing rolling in September or October.
