Paul Davis farms in New Kent County, VA and drives a truck with a bumper sticker that says, “Never-Till.” His farm was a stop on the Conservation in Action Tour. He’s been in continuous no-till since 1999.

While we were on the farm he gave us a presentation about his use of the Trimble Greenseeker technology that makes variable rate application of nitrogen possible. It’s fascinating stuff since the precision ag equipment allows Paul to conduct over 3,400 different application rates on the field we were standing in! Without this technology he would have applied a uniform amount over the whole field. The precision ag equipment not only saves on nitrogen use but applies it where it is most needed and likely to increase yields. This is a great example of how farmers like Paul are using precision ag technology to help their bottom line while also conserving and protecting natural resources. Paul Davis Presentation
