What Precision Ag Technologies are Driving Higher Yields at Lower Costs?

Leading Farmers, Agronomist, and Agribusiness Will Gather to Share practical results

Farms.com and a roster of leading precision ag expert speakers are excited to bring the Farms.com Precision Agriculture Conference & Ag Technology Showcase to Saskatoon, October 25, 2017. This event will give farmers the opportunity to learn from one another and industry experts. The event will feature presentations, practical workshops, and tradeshow exhibits from leading precision agribusinesses.  The conference will be valuable to farmers, agronomist and retailers who are interested in precision agriculture technologies.

“Ag Innovation is exploding onto the farm, it’s important to learn from the practical experience of the innovators to hear what is working on the farm and how these technologies are driving productivity and higher yields”, says Joe Dales, Vice President at Farms.com.

Powerful software applications, crop imagery from satellites, and unmanned aerial systems, precision cropping systems, weather tools, robotics and automation are some of the topics that will featured at the conference.

Precision agronomists will share the latest results from the leading-edge technologies they are using on their western Canadian farms. A panel of precision agriculture farmers will also present what they have learned, their successes and challenges.

“With the success and feedback from our 4 previous Precision Ag Conferences, we recognized the demand for this information in western Canada”, says Lindsay Gariepy, Farms.com conference coordinator.  “Farmers and agronomist have flown in from across western Canada to attend the previous events, and told us that a similar event is needed in western Canada, and we decided that Saskatoon was a terrific location.”

“A world class speaker’s agenda is being finalized. Previous events have including leading experts from companies such as Farmers Edge, Bayer CropScience, Deveron UAS, Farm Credit Canada, Agri Trend / Trimble, Climate FieldView, DuPont Pioneer, New Holland, Syngenta and many more. “says Dales.

“If you are thinking about adopting precision agriculture, just beginning with these leading-edge technologies, or have a solid understanding and use of these innovations, this conference is worthwhile attending.”

The 1-day Western Canada Precision Agriculture Conference & Ag Technology Showcase will be held at the Radisson Saskatoon, October 25, 2017 –  www.farms.com/precisionagwest

Video: Dr. David Rosero: Fat Quality in Swine Diets

In this episode of The Swine Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, Dr. David Rosero from Iowa State University explores the critical aspects of fat quality and oxidation in swine diets. He discusses how different types of lipids affect pig performance and provides actionable insights on managing lipid oxidation in feed mills. Don’t miss this episode—available on all major platforms.

Highlight quote: "Increasing levels of oxidized fats in swine diets reduced the efficiency of feed utilization, increased mortality, and led to more pigs being classified as culls, reducing the number of full-value pigs entering the finishing barns."

Meet the guest: Dr. David Rosero / davidrosero is an assistant professor of animal science at Iowa State University. His research program focuses on conducting applied research on swine nutrition and the practical application of smart farming. He previously served as the technical officer for The Hanor Company, overseeing nutrition, research, and innovation efforts.
