Tissue Testing provides you with valuable in season insights giving you key information regarding your crops nutrient uptake.Topics covered will include:How your crop is performing and if there are any areas of the field that are being affected by hidden hungers?Can your high production areas supply enough nutrient during critical growth stages?Are there nutrient deficiencies robbing yield from your bottom line?Are your low production areas a nutrient or water deficiency issue? Tissue testing will answer the above questions and give you the in season knowledge to validate that your nutrient investment is being utilized by your crop. A properly implemented tissue collection program will validate your soil sampling and nutrient application program by adding critical information needed to determine nutrient requirements in key areas of your field. With tissue testing season now upon us, we will walk through the tissue testing services available to you from A&L Canada Laboratories and Deveron UAS. 

This episode is a follow-up Q&A from Deveron's "Tissue Sampling Made Easy" webinar.Mike Wilson, Deveron's data collections lead, is the person answering the questions administered by Nick Dieffenbach, Deveron's 2020 intern."Tissue Testing Made Easy" webinar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0k-Q_v_X_4&list=PLUpauvV3en0ajGxgFCgrSO8ru_ZCjR-T7&index=5

Guest is Dr Jordan Sinclair from Veritas Farm Management.She talks about How and Why to collect on Farm data.Dr Sinclair talks about ANOVAs and how to conduct on-farm research.

In this episode, Scott Jackman from Deveron talks with Mike Wilson from Veritas Farm Management about creating a digital farming strategy.By doing this, the grower is laying out a purposeful path implementing for a precision ag program.Assign responsibilityTake stock in your GPS enabled equipmentEvaluate the different data layers you currently have for your farm.Evaluate your yield and the accuracy of your past VR scriptsIdentify each software you useSimplify simplify simplifyOnly fix a few things each year.  Start fixing the “low hanging fruit.”

In this first episode, we talk broad components that make up the precision ag framework. Scott Jackman from Deveron talks with Mike Wilson from Veritas Farm Management to give a broad overview of precision agriculture framework. We discuss GPS enabled equipment, remote sensing tools, decision support software, and variable rate prescriptions / analytics.   This overview will give a baseline for future episodes.

Scott Jackman from Deveron talks with Aaron Breimer from Veritas Farm Management about objective decision making in agriculture.  They discuss how precision agriculture seeks to increase objective decision making.Over the next couple episodes, we will be talking about decision making.  There are two broad types of decision making. Subjective decision making - which relies of experience and gut feeling. And objective decision making - which relies on quantifiable data and facts.Both types of decision making are used in agriculture. Traditionally, growers have used subjective decision making relying on their experience and their gut feeling to make decisions.  This is ok.  And it has gotten growers to be able to produce food and survive in up and down markets.  However, precision agriculture seeks to bring more objective decision making by mapping and recording data to enable decision making.And for a completely different perspective, I will be talking with COL retired Jim Greer from th
