We are currently watching from the sidelines the development of the precision farming technology. This technology is leading edge material, plagued by many bugs and currently, I believe a bit expensive in relation to the benefit that it offers to our particular operation. Anticipating upcoming opportunities or problems and recognizing early warning signals of pending trouble is extremely valuable to farmers regardless of their farm location. Wildlife is becoming more prevalent in our fields. Very few individuals can maintain their proactive edge if they are not challenged in their career.
Farmers are no exception.
Farmers must take up the challenge to make agriculture a diverse, dynamic and environmentally friendly industry of which we can all be proud while at the same time maximizing our economic returns.
