Elite Crop

From spraying to performing tillage and applying fertilizer to automatic steering; today, we have the equipment to farm with amazing sub-inch and repeatable accuracy.  Technology has given us the ability to gather information like yields, moisture, soil tests, yield goal and all sorts of other agronomic and crop data to help maximize your inputs while controlling your investments and maximizing yields. 

The machinery and electronic equipment allow us to do almost anything, but the biggest problem we face is trying to sort out all the information availiable to make good decisions.  It's fair to ask yourself questions:
     "What do I do with this pretty yield map?"
              "I have the ability to variable rate plant, but where do I start?"
                       "How do I make better fertility decisions?"
                                "How do I know my decisions paid off?"
