CropX today released results of a multiyear study on the impact of soil sensor geometry and installation method on moisture readings and irrigation. The study found that spiral sensor designs deliver the best accuracy.

Lance Larsen, precision service coordinator with Agtegra cooperative, shares the company's game plan for securing and training precision interns this spring and summer amid other disruptions caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

College students around the U.S. have had their semesters abruptly turned upside down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The majority of North Dakota State University (NDSU) precision ag students have returned to their home farms to complete their semester through online classwork.

For the most part, the Australian Farm Data Code follows the framework of North America’s Core Principles, focusing on clarity, portability, control, consent and sharing, and deletion rights. It is similarly an aspirational document, a set of guiding principles.

A single field sensor measures soil moisture at three depths, soil temperature, air temperature and air humidity.

In this episode of the Precision Farming Dealer podcast, we share excerpts from our conversation with Agtegra precision service coordinator Lance Larsen, who shares how he and his team are navigating seasonal uncertainty with calculated parts orders to ensure customer uptime.

Network sharing is a way for national wireless operators to reduce their network cost structure in rural America. The average cost of a new tower can cost upwards of $200,000 for a single company. Splitting the cost among 3 companies would allow operators to provide coverage in rural areas at a third of the cost.

Agriculture in the future will see increasing use of scientifically precise farming techniques, where automated ‘agro-bots’ monitor, treat and work the land, using advanced technology designed to help maximize yields and minimize disease. With its experience in automation and agricultural mechanization, Yanmar is making steps into advanced field robotics research.
