AGMRI Featured on the Ag News Daily Podcast

We are excited to share that we were a featured guest on a recent podcast episode of Ag News Daily with hosts Delaney Howell and Michelle Stangler.

Meeting up at the Farm Progress Show in Boone, Iowa, Matthew Burt, a sixth-generation farmer from Central Iowa, and Kevin Krieg discussed how AGMRI provides season-long coverage and insights to identify and quantify yield-limiting issues in the field and shared insights on using AGMRI for nutrient management.

Matthew Burt commented, “The reason I wanted this [on my farm] was to be able to make decisions in season or learn about those trouble spots before the end of the season. If you’re not yielding or if you only see the result at the end you don’t really know how the corn isn’t yielding…it could be any number of issues. And, by having these images coming into my phone, I can actually go out right away and try to learn about the crops, learn if there is crop stress or there’s a nutrient deficiency problem. It helps create some efficiencies, so you’re not having to scout every field, you’re picking those areas that maybe are waving that red flag or need attention.

I’ve actually been able to see something on my phone and then I can go right out to that spot in my field and see that I do have nutrient deficiency. Getting these images for all my fields, I can go to the acre or the corner of the field that I know has a problem and I don’t have to essentially walk every single field to find problems.

It’s really hard to quantify how much of the field had nitrogen loss but what I’m seeing from the imaging and AI tools, it can actually quantify those numbers. It’s not just, yes, there was nitrogen loss or, yes, this field had emergence issues. They are actually putting a number on it.”

Hear more from Kevin and what Matthew learned from AGMRI and how he used it to make in-season decisions this season.
