Connectivity and Precision Agriculture in SW Ontario Crop Farming

Researchers at the Ontario Agricultural College in the Regional and Rural Broadband (R2B2) project are working on a study of how current and future connectivity influences the adoption of Precision Agriculture (PA) technologies among crop farmers in South Western Ontario.

 If you are a farm operator growing field crops in SW Ontario who is currently using, or not yet using, PA technologies you are invited to participate in the e-survey:

 The objective is to analyze the extent to which access to high-speed internet, or lack thereof, serves as an enabler/barrier to the adoption of various PA applications.

 The study is funded by Agriculture and Agri-food Canada’s (AAFC) Innovation and Growth Policy Division (IGPD).

Updates on this project will be posted on R2B2project.ca site.

Video: This Is Why We Bury Plastic In Our Fields!!

we take on a massive field improvement project: installing over 20,000 feet of tile to boost drainage, increase yields, and improve overall farm profitability. From laying out the pattern to watching the tile plow in action, we walk you through the entire process. Once the tile project is wrapped up, we switch gears and get back to the shop! Whether you’re here for the tile installation, the equipment work, or just enjoy a day on the farm—there’s something in this video for everyone.
