Productivity from Above: Practical and Realistic Use of Multi-Year Imagery Analysis to Diagnose Problem Areas

Growers spend hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars on growing crops, through leasing and buying land, buying equipment, buying seed and inputs and in labour costs. So, making the most of that land makes good business sense. 

You’ve been across your fields hundreds of times. You know the ins and outs. But are you using the capabilities of the equipment that you have, and the technology available? Do you increase inputs on areas where you traditionally get thin stands or decrease it, or do you just do the same recipe everywhere? 

Oftentimes, we’re not doing anything about these areas. Yet, we can – we can use multi-year quantitative analysis to determine relative productivity in-field, and then apply that analysis to investigate and mitigate that portion of the field.  

Matt Fagnou, Manager of Precision Ag / Echelon Canada will host a session on how multi-year digital imagery can be used to manage problem areas in the field.
