Precision ag was highlighted at the Nutrient Use Efficiency Expo during the Conservation in Action Tour by a company called Geosys represented by Don Lampker. Don says Geosys is a relatively small technology supply company. He says they do a lot with satellite imagery and have a product called FieldInSite which helps a farmer map their fields so they can make decisions on which areas are most productive. They can then create nutrient management plans which are used by variable rate application systems.
It’s all about the more efficient use of nitrogen. He says there may be some areas of a field where they actually apply more nitrogen but others areas it will be reduced if it’s not getting used. Don Lampker Interview
