Crop Scouting Gathers Intimate Knowledge
Avoid surprises and increase your confidence
When it comes to walking your fields, you would probably rather go back to the air conditioned cab... You've paid your dues, right?
However, when it comes to agronomic management there are few things that match the intimate knowledge and desicion-making confidence of having field measurements... from your farm.
If you're not walking and taking measurements on a regular basis, it pays to hire it done.
When you hire a professional crop scouting service you reduce your risk of damage by discovering problems before they become a threat.
Consider the following example:
Midwest farm, 2000 acres, primarily corn>soybean rotation, numerous soil types, numerous varieties
The fields are planted on different days, under various conditions and spread across 15 miles. Some fields are emerging quickly, others are slowed... The crew is finishing planting and beginning agressive post spray treatments. Sidedress applicators are being serviced and another rain front is on the horizon.
Is it time to walk the back 40?
Chances are, most farmers in this situation are going full throttle to get everything done timely and rarely take a consistent approach to crop scouting. If you're one of the few that do, you know just how valuable discovery can be during the season!
$90/acre of yield saved on 200 acres pays for 3000 acres to be scouted (for the entire season!)
If you are interested in intensifying the management of your farm send on email to info@advancedagsolutions.com and one of our Agronomists can help you identify your needs. Chances are the dollars spent in watching your entire crop will pay back huge on 25% of your acreage, in the first season!
