Out now: https://lnkd.in/e58cPaCi (open access) Since 2009, the Dutch mussel sector has been transitioning from wild seed fishery to suspended seed collectors. Collector systems using either ropes or nets as settlement substrate are placed in Oosterschelde bay, the Wadden Sea, and the North Sea in spring each year. We analyzed detailed harvest data from 2010 until 2022, to investigate the efficiency of different systems, identify differences between years and areas, and assess how production can be optimized. Our analysis shows that the collector seed is a robust and annually more reliable alternative to wild capture fishery as a seed provisioning resource for mussel culture.

A fluid dynamics model is worth a thousand words. We worked with Western Grains Research Foundation to conduct research on Spray Drift Management Under Changing Operational Requirements. Key takeaways? ? Low and slow is key to reducing spray drift. It is especially important to consider this on the headlands of a field where neighboring crops may be at risk. ? Head/tail wind should be considered to determine an effective travel speed relative to the air (instead of the ground) ? The area behind the tractor was where the most chaotic air flow was present, and this leads to disrupted spray patterns and can cause spray drift.? ? Low and slow will help ensure an even application of the product used and improve the effectiveness.

“The integration of SouthPAN into our workflow has significantly boosted efficiency, giving us the accuracy needed to reliably track and manage our research site” - Dan Bloomer of Page Bloomer. Page Bloomer is using SouthPAN in their everyday operations to achieve their mission of connecting farmers with sustainable food and fibre production innovation. SouthPAN’s sub-metre accuracy can be used by orchardists and winegrowers to unlock smart farming applications such as:? – Tracking and managing orchard and vineyard crop spraying with confidence – never double up or miss a crop row again! ????? – Identifying and tracking points on trial sites that stay accurate, even with changing crops and conditions ??? – Reducing reliance on and costs of connecting to mobile networks for location accuracy ??? – Accurate positioning of buried infrastructure and trapping locations for efficient and reliable long-term maintenance planning ?? Read the full Page Bloomer case study below ??

Better accuracy and monitoring sound good!

Facts and Opinions.... to refresh a quote from Daniel Moynihan (prev' Baruch) 'First, get your facts straight.?Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts.?Second, decide to live with the facts. Third, resolve to surmount them. Because, fourth, what is at stake is our capacity to make a difference' A fitting quote for this article and the body of facts around soil carbon
