Plenty of urea going out in NNSW with rain forecast this w/e. This paddock was soil mapped using RapidEM from @data_farming that we used to identify testing locations. Results and agro/grower input used to determine rates for 2 zones. EM (left) Rx map (middle) As applied (right)

Another eg of data usefulness. Customer didn't finish urea spreading before rain. Job was to be completed with new tractor which meant no previous coverage. I turned a boundary of the missed area into a prescription map, so even with new operator, there was no misses or overlap.

A customer of mine has hired a Rapid EM from @data_farming to map a few of his most troublesome paddocks. I delivered it on farm today and helped him set it up. Looking forward to highlighting the variability across the paddocks and identifying the different management zones.

Here's another example of the usefulness of good data. In crop Canola application not quite complete when sprayer broke down. Neighbour came in to finish the job so I created a boundary around the area left to spray and sent the new boundary to the 2nd machine. #nooverlap

RT @kyleplattner: Make quick changes to your organization's preferences from anywhere using the latest release of @JohnDeere Operations Cen….

JD have release 25.2 software for Gen4/5 displays. It contains two new features that customers have been waiting on. 1. Flag Alarms-operators will now get a visual and audible tone as you approach a flag. 2. Turn Automation for SP sprayers-Needs to be MY22+ 400R or 600R series

Not all the machines I work with have the latest technology. This 88 model 4850 has a 2630 display and 6000 receiver for steering straight and documenting little spray jobs.

Picking still underway around Goondiwindi. This old 7760 doesn’t have an MTG installed so no connectivity with the cloud for wireless data transfer. It means a visit to the paddock to download the bale data onto USB so we can book bales in with the gin prior to delivery.

On farm this morning fine tuning the guidance and section control on a recently installed John Deere G5 display in a Case 500 Quadtrac. Planting wheat with a new 24m NDF disc planter.

Cotton picking now in full swing again. Planting information for trials sent to machine as a work plan from Ops Centre that automatically imports and populates the display when you enter the field so operator doesn’t have to worry about changing varieties to capture accurate data

On farm today getting tractors ready before winter crop planting ramps up. Oats going in near North Star. Fortunate to have plenty of moisture after recent rain.

A few more tractors ready to go planting once the window opens. Fendt fitted with John Deere guidance run on a 2630 display. 18 Boss planter behind.

A few more pickers set up west of Goondiwindi this morning. Just need the cotton and ground to dry out a bit. This field was ready to be picked and then had > 150mm on it.

RT @CTFarmingAus: Great to have @data_farming & @GRoh_Ag part of our team working on Improving efficiency of onfarm operations with @Verge….

Despite the rain there was a good roll up of attendees at the MacIntyre Valley Cotton Field Day yesterday at ‘Springfield’. We couldn’t get into the paddock but we heard from a great bunch of speakers. I enjoyed being part of the ‘data panel’ to discuss the how, what, and why.

Spent the day working on the @SwarmFarm platform with a mutual customer. He's just had his new unit delivered so to get him running we imported driven boundaries from his Ops Centre account directly into Farm Manager and set up his operating areas, geofences, obstacles and roads.

On farm near Jerilderie today getting a 7760 with 2630 and CP770 with 4600 display ready for picking. Cleared old data and updated software and setup information so they’re ready to go sometime in May.

I’m in Victoria this week visiting customers. Got the crew together this morning to run through boundaries and guidance lines in Ops Centre. Also made sure staff had their own mobile access. Once we were happy with that I updated software on displays and installed new setup data

Have started getting pickers ready around Goondiwindi the last couple of days. Customers with dryland cotton nearly ready to go. A combination of 7760’s, CP690’s and CP770’s. Gen 4 displays with variety locator info syncing back to Ops Center to pick up planting data.

On farm today updating the newly fitted John Deere 2630 displays and 6000 receivers in these two MT865C Challengers. Greenstar enabled using a Reichhardt Green Fit kit.
