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 expertize 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!
Intelligent Farming Program has been especially developed by Precision Ag Solutions to cater to all Irish farmers needs. We encourage all the producers to attend our Intelligent Farming Workshops and to learn how our Precision Agriculture experts can help you to dramatically cut input costs, maximize grain yields, and optimize profits while protecting the farm land.
