“Not only did this intensive soil testing pay off on the ryegrass but, it made sure we fertilized our following canola crop adequately. That put at least 10 more bushels on those fields.”

– Derrick Beischer, Inglis, MB


Data Management (MAPS & TOOLS)

 

 

Our online web-based GIS database will help keep the data organized and accessible year after year.
How many producers have 5-10 years worth of yield data but don’t know what to do with it? Historical yield maps just like historical satellite imagery can be used to compare different areas of a field and how they perform under different crops and weather conditions. Other layers of information such as elevation and soil texture data can also help answer questions about productivity.
Proper production records such as seeding, pest control and harvest information can also be stored in our online database. Our consultants will have the ability to log valuable scouting data into the database as they walk the field and have it readily available to others.
The production data required to create a carbon credit can be extensive. Having all the records in one location makes it easy to generate a verification report with all the necessary data.
More and more people want to know the origins of the food they are eating. Traceability and “Identity Preserved” clauses are more and more common in today’s production contracts. Proper documentation of field activities is required.
Producers and end users now have the ability to monitor the crop and production activities throughout the season thanks to the use of satellite imagery and regular field inspections.

As farming operations get bigger and more complex, the need to manage increasing amounts of data is crucial. The data must be organized and easily accessible if we are to extract maximum value from it.

These days more people want to know the origins of the food they are eating. Traceability and “Identity Preserved” clauses are quite common in today’s production contracts. To collect a premium, proper documentation of field activity is required throughout the value chain from "gate to plate".

 

Clients of Farmers Edge will also have the ability to monitor the crop and production activities throughout the season thanks to the use of satellite imagery and regular field inspections. A producer can now monitor his crops from the cottage at the lake same as an end user in a downtown highrise.
