If not pay attention as it is almost like selling Fixed Telephones in today’s market against smart phone.
What you see changing on the farms in Brazil?
The next generation is really taking charge and assuming responsibility. What does this mean to the Ag equipment and irrigation systems?
Very simple, this younger/new farms want good/useful data. (Data = information)
What kind of decision tools are today tangible and not difficult to provide!
· Before and during the Chemical Spraying evaluate the micro climate of the field and weather forecast with 80% accuracy for 3 days. (planting and harvesting you use this too…)
· At Spraying control, the thermal inversion.
· Hay & Silage harvest you also can have today precise data of the micro climate.
· Integrate in your precision farming the field maps with variable rate planting.
· Irrigate when really needed and using the micro climate to add in the decision project.
· Own good reports with tangible data of your equipment, irrigation equipment so that you have real cost Data available.
When you are rending the above, all farmers will say it is logical but the younger once demand this Data as they see the advantage and got used to access information to make their management decisions.
