Hungry and Naked - That's Where We'd Be Without Agriculture!

Why Most Irish Farmers Spend Too Much On Fertilizer?

• Fertilizer prices continue to increase
• Fertilizer use efficiency is below 30%  
• 70% of applied fertilizer is not used by crops; it is lost from the soil!
• Yields vary dramatically (±15%) year to year.
• Application of the same amount of fertilizer every year based on previously achieved yields means ignoring field-to- field and year- to- year variability costs Irish farmers €1000’s every year! 

Precision Ag Solutions have developed Intelligent Farming Program especially for Irish growers interested in making their farming operations more efficient and cost-effective. Attending our Intelligent Farming Workshop is a great opportunity to share your farming experiences with with other producers, and make contacts. But most importantly obtain valuable information on how to use your resources wisely and how to save significant amount of money on fertilizer and chemicals without compromising yields.Precision Agriculture offers fantastic opportunities to any crop producer who wants to be successful and prosperous even in tough financial times!

Cut The Cost, Not The Yield!!!

Precision Ag Solutions - Ireland

Hungry and Naked - That's Where We'd Be Without Agriculture!

Irish farming community is facing difficult challenges. The rising input costs coupled with virtually static prices mean that dramatic changes must be made in the next growing season, to ensure a margin for farmers! Irish Farmers Journal's (IFJ) Darragh Mullin underlined that while the input costs have risen by 40% since 2000, the prices stayed the same. With this in mind, many growers are questioning whether it even make sense to plant cereals for the next season... Calculating the input costs is absolutely vital in budgeting your farm operations!
Andy Doyle (IFJ) challenged farmers to answer these questions in order to make their budget more realistic: 1. Farmers were forced to cut their inputs year after year - can they still afford to do so without compromising grain yields? 2. Does the land really need all the fertilizer that is applied year after year? 3. Are some fields not worthwhile farming?
Precision Ag Solutions have clear answers to these questions!
1. Yes, farmers had to cut down on their input costs over the years. However, a farmer can make the right farm management decisions if he knows more about the land he farms (including soil fertility levels) and crop condition (plant stand and crop yield potential).
2. The question should be not whether the land needs the applied fertilizer, but rather - whether the crop needs it! We do not have the luxury, nor are reckless enough, to feed the soil, rather then the crop!
3. We believe that all the fields are worthwhile farming, as long as it is done efficiently, and management decisions are made on field-by-field basis!

Presicion Ag Solutions have the technology and the expertise to help farmers make more efficient farm management decisions! We are dedicated to support Irish farming community whether producers are in need of professional advise, or training!
Whether the growers need to decrease their input costs (fertilizer, herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, growth regulators, fuel, time, labor), or they wish to minimize the impact of their farm operations on the environment (fertilizer run-off, leaching, volatilization), or they want to increase the efficiency of applied nutrients and chemicals, Precision Ag Solutions have the technology and experience to provide a practical, fast and inexpensive solution to any and all of these challenges!

Irish farmers are the foundation of Irish culture, economy. They are they once putting bread and milk on our table. And yet they are struggling to feed their families. This year, Irish farmer's income has fallen to shameful 13,000 euro, reflecting a 30% collapse since 1973...Outrageous situation Irish farmers find themselves in - whose fault is it? Is global economy at fault? Is it government's fault? Or maybe the farmers themselves?

Nitrogen Use Efficiency - Agronomy and Biotechnology

Precision Ag Solutions - Ireland

Hungry and Naked - That's Where We'd Be Without Agriculture!

Proper mineral nutrition is vital for realizing full yield potential of any crop. Irish producers are facing with challenges of identifying the best nitrogen fertilizer rates as well as the best time of fertilizer application. Currently, only 1/3 of all applied N is utilized by crops, while the other 2/3 are simply lost from the soil causing water pollution, posing danger to marine life, as well as human health. Apart from negative environmental impact, the loss of 2/3 of nitrogen ultimately represents the loss of 2/3 of money that crop producers spent on fertilizer.

Nitrogen use efficiency has 2 components, that are probably equally important:

• The first component is to do with how efficient are nitrogen fertilizer management strategies employed by the producers. This component is dependent on whether the rate of applied fertilizer is appropriate for the crop grown - whether or not the rate is able to match crops need for nitrogen.
• The second component is associated with the ability of the crop to uptake (absorb from the soil) and to utilize (convert absorbed nitrogen into yield) supplied nitrogen.

While significant advances has been achieved in identifying genes associated with higher nitrogen use efficiency in several crop (mainly wheat, corn, rice, and some horticultural crops), it will take years until highly nitrogen use efficient varieties are released for wide use among crop producers. It is natural to expect that these varieties will be considerably more expensive compared to those currently used by farmers. Thus, developing of highly nitrogen efficient crops has to be seen as a promising long-term goal.
Meanwhile, the importance of efficient agricultural practices and wise fertilization techniques must be considered as the main solution to increasing nitrogen use efficiency, and thus, cutting fertilizer inputs.
Precision Ag Solutions have developed Intelligent Farming Program especially for Irish growers interested in making their farming operations more efficient and cost-effective. Attending our Intelligent Farming Workshop is a great opportunity to share your farming experiences with with other producers, and make contacts. But most importantly obtain valuable information on how to use your resources wisely and how to save significant amount of money on fertilizer and chemicals without compromising yields.
Precision Agriculture offers fantastic opportunities to any crop producer who wants to be successful and prosperous even in tough financial times!

Challenges in Slurry Application to Winter Crops

Precision Ag Solutions - Ireland

Hungry and Naked - That's Where We'd Be Without Agriculture!

Two major challenges associated with slurry application to winter crops are: 1. Variability of nutrients present in the slurry. %N, %P, %K can vary dramatically between the loads.

2. Application of slurry in the fall results in extremely low nutrient use efficiency. Typical nitrogen fertilizer use efficiency is approximately 33%, meaning that almost 70% of all N applied to agricultural fields is not being utilized by the crops but being lost from the soil through run off, leaching, and volatilization. The "lost" nutrients end up in the lakes, rivers and oceans causing eutrophication, as well as in the atmosphere contributing to global warming.

What solutions can be offered to solve these problems? First of all, testing slurry for nutrient content prior to spreading is vital for estimating whether the applied amount of slurry provides adequate mineral nutrition to the developing crop. Also, while nitrogen fertilizer use efficiency is approximately 33% worldwide, nutrient use efficiency is significantly lower when slurry is used as a source compared to commercial fertilizers. A field study conducted in 2006 by research scientists fro Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences showed that 60% nitrogen use efficiency was achieved using ammonium nitrate compared to only 35% using pig slurry. While 38% phosphorus use efficiency was observed with calcium hydroxyl phosphate, only 6 to 9% phosphorus use efficiency was achieved with pig slurry.

Knowing the exact nutrient content of slurry and applying slurry at the appropriate rate and at the right time, can help to utilize slurry more efficiently even for winter crops.

How to determine the appropriate nutrient rate??? and what is the right time for fertilizer application???

Making Money From Cereal Production In Ireland

Precision Ag Solutions - Ireland
Hungry and Naked - That's Where We'd Be Without Agriculture!

To produce a margin next year, many Irish farmers must reduce their production costs. It has been pronounced at Teagasc Tillage Forum that the low price trend will continue in to 2010 growing season. Therefore, the farming community must find the way to become more efficient and use their resources wisely. Several Teagasc researchers has been recommending to till only the best farm land and leave the poorer land idle, because it is not worth while... We disagree! If you know how to manage different types of land effectively, you will be able to produce a margin even utilizing poorer land. For example, the poorer land is deemed not productive because of the blanket application of fertilizer and other chemicals. This means that the farmers are using the same fertilizer and chemical strategies for their best and their poorest fields. The current fertilizer recommendations must be revised if the farmers are to make money by growing cereals in Ireland. Traditional farming techniques are not working, and not going to work, at the times of such high margin pressure! All Irish crop growers and agricultural consultants are urged to attend our Intelligent Farming Workshops. These workshops are carried out in a discussion format, and aimed at educating producers nationwide about ways to become more productive and efficient in their agricultural enterprises. Our Precision Agriculture Experts will offer you valuable information, advise and training in scientifically-based, tried-out and simple ways to dramatically decrease agricultural inputs including fertilizer and chemical application. Accounting for field-to field and within-the-field variation, as well as year-to-year variation in agricultural production helps to maximize profits by managing farming resources more efficiently. This is why Precision Agriculture is also referred to as Site-Specific Farming. Attending our Intelligent Farming Workshops and taking part in our Intelligent Farming Program will help you to become financially stable and make the most of your efforts! irish producers - Stop Wasting The Money You Do Not Have!

Irish Farmers - Take Care of Yourselves!

Precision Ag Solutions - Ireland

Hungry and Naked - Thant's Where We'd Be Without Agriculture! 

As it has been noted at the last Teagasc Cereal Conference at Newbridge, Co. Kildare, Irish farmers observed very low yields, worst grain quality and lowest prices since 1976...While the outputs have fallen from 2.3 million tonnes in 2008 to alarming 1.6 million tonnes this year, many agree that the key problem is not the yield, but extremely high production costs. Traditional plough till and sow routine followed by complete herbicide and fungicide treatments is not working at such low prices, as Matt Dempsey of Farm Journal recently noted. It is absolutely clear that "new thinking is needed in the tillage sector if it is to have a future in Ireland". However, we insist that new thinking alone will not bring prosperity to Irish farmers. ---Hungry and Naked - That's Where We'd Be Without Agriculture!--- What producers must realise is that they must take care of themselves. Will the farming community get the same bailout deal as the banks? Certainly not. The best solution to stop worrying is to start acting!
Attending one of our Intelligent Farming Workshops might be the most important step you take this year to educate yourselves on crop production issues and to ensure you are taking full advantage of your resources. These workshops will help you to manage your land better and to make informed decisions concerning your production inputs. Our Precision Agriculture Experts will help you to make your farm more efficient and profitable! Take care of yourselves and your future!

End of REPS

Precision Ag Solutions - Ireland

Hungry and Naked - That' Where We'd Be Without Agriculture!

In July 2009, Teagasc announced that the REPS 4 was closed to new applicants by the Department of Agriculture Fisheries and Food. What does it mean to the 62,000 farmers involved in the scheme? For the last 15 years, since the REPS program has been introduced in Ireland in 1994, many Irish farmers have been involved in the scheme. Over 50% of Irish agricultural producers have been involved in REPS and now the program has been cancelled due to limited funding. What does this mean for Irish farmers and for Irish environment?
The scheme has been developed to encourage environmental awareness and to minimize the negative impact of intensive agricultural practices on environmental quality. Since the REPS funds are being cut, does it mean that we should expect fast deterioration of environmental quality in Ireland in the near future? The fact is, many farmers in Ireland are struggling to make a reasonable income. So even realizing the importance of protecting environmentally-valuable land, they might be forces to utilize it in the future to support their living. Teagasc research funds are also being cut significantly.
What does the future hold for Irish agriculture? Should all the farmers just give up and stop farming? --- Hungry and Naked - That's Where We'd Be Without Agriculture! ---

Efficient Nutrient Management

Precision Ag Solutions - Ireland

Hungry and Naked - That's Where We'd Be Without Agriculture!

Precision Agriculture enables farmers to efficiently produce high quality agricultural products that comply with standards and environmental regulations. Precision Agriculture does not mean "complicated" or "expensive! Actually, not only Precision Ag technologies are becoming more and more user-friendly and affordable, but they also help producers to grow a healthy crop, increase yields, and protect their land while dramatically cutting their production costs. The necessity for proper crop nutrition is obvious to all producers. For most agricultural enterprises, nitrogen fertilizers represent up to 25% of total input costs. With fertilizer prices continuing to increase, it is absolutely vitals for growers to be able to use their fertilizer in the most efficient way.

Intelligent Farming Program has been specially created by Precision Ag Solutions to inform farmers about efficient nutrient management strategies. Intelligent Farming Program entails using state-of-the-art Precision Agriculture tools such as optical sensing. This scientifically-based technology has been successfully employed by farmers worldwide. Optical sensing allows to accurately estimate yield potential of the crop and to determine nitrogen fertilizer rate based on the crops need.
