Technology

Many forms of technology are utilized on our farm.  We grid soil sample all of our farms using 2.5 acre grids and use that information with our Variable Rate Technology (VRT).  VRT is used for application of fertilizer and nitrogen which are imperative to our land stewardship and crop management practices.  We also use John Deere Auto Steer in all our equipment to minimize overlap of planting and harvesting of the crop as well as keeping fuel consumption to a minimum.  When paired with I-Tech Pro, we are able to maintain this efficiency throughout the endrows and turning cycle.  Both of these technologies automate steering of our tractors and implements which also reduces operator fatigue.  Swath-Pro is another form of technology used on our planters and sprayer to eliminate overlap of seed and chemical application, keeping environmental, cropping and financial resources in check.
