In the past, agriculture relied on experience;
Today, more and more decisions are relying on data.
According to the latest Farmer Pulse survey report released by Caixin Netherlands,precision agricultureIt has become an important component of modern agriculture.89%The interviewed farmers stated that they are using automatic navigation technology,54%Using precision application systems and remote information processing and interconnected farm management platforms,14%We have started introducing AI assisted automation technology.
Why are more and more farmers choosing precision agriculture technology?
The answer is simple:It can help farmers achieve higher efficiency and better output with less input.
Data is becoming one of the most important means of production on farms
In southern Oklahoma and Kansas, the Moreland family operates a land that has been passed down for four generations - over 20000 acres (approximately 120000 acres) - growing corn, wheat, and soybeans, as well as grass and beef cattle farming. Over the past 50 years, they have continuously improved soil fertility through no tillage, precision farming, variable spraying, and crop rotation.
Nowadays, from sowing, spraying to harvesting, data is automatically aggregated onto the FieldOps agricultural machinery cloud platform and archived by plot. Farmers can check their work progress, verify historical records, and adjust production schedules on their mobile phones.
From agricultural machinery operations to farm management, a series of precise technologies from Case New Holland are helping this farm transform more operational information into decision-making basis,Let farm management shift from relying more on experience to being data-driven.
This is also what CNH Agricultural Machinery Cloud is doing in China.
From the vast plains of Northeast China to large-scale farms in Northwest China, more and more Chinese users are using agricultural machinery cloud to achieve:
Real-time positioningIt's clear where the car is and whether it's working or not
Homework statistics:How much work has been done and how much fuel has been consumed, automatically generated
Remote diagnosis:Fault warning, data interpretation, and non blind maintenance
Device sharing:Operators, customers, and partners each take what they need, and communication is effortless
Less input, more output
The core value of precision agriculture is to make every investment more effective.
Keith AIM Command FLEX used by Moreland Farm ™ II precise spraying technology can automatically adjust the spraying amount, avoid repeated spraying, reduce chemical waste, and improve the prevention and control effect. Through multi machine collaboration technology AccuSync, multiple devices can share job paths and real-time data, effectively reducing missed work areas even during nighttime operations.
The area of homework we do in a day is twice as much as ten years ago. At the end of the day, people are not as tired
In China, Agricultural Machinery Cloud is also helping users achieve "efficiency improvement and cost reduction":
Electronic fence:Define virtual boundaries, automatic alarm for entry and exit, anti-theft and anti crossing measures
Predictive maintenance:Proactively push maintenance reminders to reduce unplanned downtime
Search for service outlets:One click positioning of nearby authorized service stations, maintenance without detours
Data loop: harvest calibration for next season's investment
For wheat, the optimal level of grain protein is about 12%. Moreland Farm has introduced an agricultural machinery cloud platform during the harvesting process, which compares nitrogen fertilizer application data with the protein levels of harvested crops, forming a clear feedback loop and enabling more accurate adjustment of fertilization plans every year.
This logic also applies to agricultural production in China.Agricultural Machinery Cloud 2.0 VersionWe have added agricultural data analysis capabilities to help users convert homework data into planting decision basis - not only knowing "how much work has been done", but also more clearly "how effective it is", making the next season's planting more understandable.
Data is becoming one of the most important means of production
According to a survey by Farmer Pulse:
74% of farmers list "reducing input costs" as the primary reason for adopting precision technology
62% of farmers believe that adopting precise technology can bring moderate or extremely high value returns
54% of farmers plan to increase investment in precision technology within the next two years
