I’m surrounded by a great team of advisors, including my local agronomist and two DEKALB® representatives that help with a lot of my farming decisions. But I like to write all of my scripts myself using two FieldView tools: manual seed scripts and FieldView seed scripts. The FieldView seed scripts tool is especially helpful since it provides me with population recommendations based on the hybrid and historic yield data. From there, I have the option to revise the prescription for each management zone.

Farmers know how important it is to ensure their data is accurate, because they base their decision making on what that data is telling them

We know that integrating this platform into your operation doesn’t happen in a day. It takes time. We are invested in helping farmers navigate this new technology.

No matter where you are, you’ll want to be ready the moment your crops are — and that means ensuring you’re set up to collect the data that is key to analyzing crop performance and making decisions for the coming season. We’ve created a pre-harvest action plan of steps you can take right now to get ready to run.

When clouds obstruct the view of satellites, the technology that analyzes images to produce scouting maps and other data interprets this as a field health problem. This results in misleading field imagery. As a data scientist, the last thing I ever want to do is provide inaccurate data. So my colleagues and I set out to solve this issue by creating better, more sophisticated technology.

Split planting, which is planting two different seed products side-by-side in the same planter or seeder pass, can be an effective way to generate powerful data to confirm your seed purchase, population and placement decisions. FieldView™ can help you use this data to get the most from your seed investments.

Climate FieldView™ yield analysis tools can help you make informed decisions on seed placement for the coming year. Now is the time to set yourself up to maximize return on the seeds you will soon be planting and give them the best opportunity for success.
