It's more difficult than ever to sift through accurate information these days.

In the Fall 2023 issue of the Precision Ag Digital Digest, we created a column 'Precision Agricultrue' to stick to the facts of modern farming.

We shed light on the global landscape of adoption, challenges and barriers to adoption, current and future market forecasts and most popular use cases.

But that's not all.

The Fall 2023 issue is full of innovation — we explore new AGCO products, a new digital soil moisture meter, nanotechnology's place in sustainable agriculture, a device to help swine producers monitor feed flow and so much more.

Oh, did we mention using bee's to apply fungicide? We cover that too.

Without further ado, we hope you enjoy the Fall 2023 Precision Agriculture Digital Digest — view it here!

Video: Breaking Biosecurity: The First U.S. Case of H5N1 in Pigs and What It Means for Producers

Dr. Gisele Ravagnani provides insights into the recent detection of H5N1 in an Oregon pig, marking the first U.S. case in swine. H5N1, a highly pathogenic avian influenza, primarily affects birds but has now crossed into swine. This development raises concerns for both swine and poultry producers due to potential interspecies transmission. Producers are advised to enhance biosecurity measures, such as controlling farm access and monitoring animal health. While the risk to human health remains low, it's crucial to protect workers through proper hygiene and protective equipment. Producers should watch for symptoms like respiratory distress in their herds and consult veterinarians promptly if infections are suspected.
