Precision agricultural maps use geo-referenced data to give farmers an accurate picture of field conditions, helping them to make informed decisions.
How do precision agricultural maps work?
Precision maps use a combination of sensors and GPS data, feeding back location-based information about soil nutrient levels and crops.
This allows farmers to understand field conditions at a granular level, helping them make decisions about the use of fertiliser, herbicides and insecticides based on real-time and historic data, rather than by sight alone.
How can precision agricultural mapping benefit farmers?
With a wealth of data at their fingertips, farmers can expect to see improved crop yields, boosting their farm’s commercial viability.
There are many approaches to precision mapping. Soil maps provide data about soil quality, nutrition levels and fertility in specific zones, while yield maps help farmers make choices when it comes to seed sowing, harvesting crops and more.
Other forms of precision mapping can be used in combination for further insight; an approach that many farmers use to develop a complete understanding of their farm’s agricultural infrastructure.
How can we help?
Our experienced rural consultants use advanced mapping technologies to help farmers monitor field conditions and take learnings from the data.
We can help to set up the necessary equipment and software, before taking you through the process of data analysis and learnings.
