CCC agronomy specialist Jason Casselman saw a lot at AgriTechnica in November, including next stage crop sensors, optical spraying retrofits, automatic seeding rate adjustment for drills and instant AI analysis of crop imagery.
Australia’s contribution to global canola and rapeseed supply jumped from a decadal average of 3.3 million tonnes to 4.8 million in 2020, 6.8 million in 2021 and 8.3 million in 2022. Rainfall was the key factor. Agronomy was another. Could Australian rules for better canola productivity help improve productivity in Canada?
Canola seeding rates may require adjusting under certain conditions to optimize plant populations and maximize yields, according to research. Seeding rates may need to be increased when seeding at a later seeding date, when high average temperatures or low precipitation are observed before seeding, or expected after seeding.
How can an air force strategy to improve combat results help a farm make better marketing decisions? It’s about the process – including a constant looping back to test the validity of each decision.
