Reducing Yield Variability: Using Data to Improve Every Acre

Yield variability can cost farmers valuable bushels, but data-driven management and precision agriculture can help identify what's holding individual acres back. Lorrie Boyer talks with Dr. Kess Berg of Advanced Agrolytics about using yield maps, soil data, weather, satellite imagery, variable-rate technology, drainage, and AI to better understand field variability and improve crop performance. In this episode: 🌽 Identifying the causes of yield variability 📊 Getting more value from yield maps and field data 🧪 Using soil sampling and fertility maps more effectively 💧 How water movement and drainage impact yield 🎯 Variable-rate seeding, nitrogen, and fertilizer management 🌱 Hybrid and variety placement for different acres 🤖 How AI and data analytics can improve farm decisions 💰 Prioritizing improvements based on yield potential and input costs Plus, practical advice for growers looking to improve underperforming acres and build a more data-driven precision agriculture strategy.
