Quick Compost Survey For Farmers

Quick Compost Survey For Farmers
By Debbie Roos 
 
I have been invited to give a presentation at the US Composting Council’s upcoming Compost Operation Training Course. My topic is Compost in Agricultural Fields. Since I’ll be talking about how farmers use compost, I thought this would be a great opportunity to get some feedback from farmers on their use of compost to share with this group.
 
If you are a farmer I would appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to complete this short, anonymous on-line survey. This is for all types of farmers (produce, cut flowers, livestock, row crops, nursery growers) from anywhere in the southeast. Please complete the survey by September 12.

Gowan Canada is partnering with Geco Strategic Weed Management to help Canadian growers take a strategic approach to weed control through data-driven prediction and planning.

Geco’s technology uses data and AI to map where weeds have been over the past five years and predict where patches are likely to emerge next season. These insights allow farms and retailers to plan ahead and target actions in the most challenging areas.

“Our technology enables the question: if you could know where your most problematic patches are and where they are spreading to, what could you do differently? That’s what our technology makes possible,” said Greg Stewart, CEO of Geco. “Many of our farms are already using our prescriptions along with Gowan products, so this collaboration is a natural next step.”
