Going into their fifth year of precision farming data collection, Joseph Brightly says the family farm is getting ready to leverage the information they’ve collected in the previous 4 years.

New Holland introduces upgrades to its PLM Connect telematics system to help producers stay better connected with their farming operations through easy and secure transfer of data and enhanced network coverage and reliability.

A new survey on data security and usage identifies challenges for producers looking to use farm management data without compromising the security of their operation.

The path to leveraging precision farming information is a rocky one for Charles Augello at CY Farms near Elba, N.Y. Farming 5,500 acres of strip-tilled corn and soybeans as well as conventionally sown wheat, peas, cabbage and turf, CY Farms finds its fields, which average less that 25 acres in size, an obstacle to leveraging precision farming equipment and data.

The Hunnicutts are no strangers to precision farming. For more than 10 years, they have been pushing the envelope, using first their own RTK base station and now a signal subscription to precisely strip-till, then plant, spray and harvest their 2,600 acres of corn, seed corn, popcorn and soybeans.

WinField has increased its participation in two separate efforts to help simplify the exchange of information between software platforms while ensuring that farmers retain ownership and control of their data.
