Pair Tools for Added On-Farm Value

- Multiple tools can help you come to more precise conclusions. If each tool gives you information about a field at a particular moment in time, then joining their capabilities provides a full picture of that field at the end of the season. For example, using a scouting tool with an in-season imagery tool and then layering on yield analytics can help you gain a deeper understanding of why something happened in your field. Yield analytics alone can reveal a yield loss but can’t help you determine where that loss came from.
- Pairing tools makes for better prescriptions. The more we dig into field variability and understand where in-season threats like insect and disease challenges are coming from, the better prescription we can write for addressing these challenges. I’ve found that scouting tools coupled with in-season imagery, for example, can be helpful in pinpointing where and when a pest problem occurred. From there, we can use this information to determine a plan of action that will inform seed and input purchases for the year to come.
- Two sources can firm up financial impact. Consider using a combination of tools such as the Climate FieldView™ platform and the R7® Tool Profitability Map. Together these tools give you a look into the financial impact of situations like disease pressures or an influx of insects. Understanding the monetary implications helps us better plan and protect ROI potential moving forward.
