Precision Ag Shows It Can Work In Southeast
By Amanda Huber
Jay Holder of Holder Ag Consulting in Ashburn, Ga., says the cost of fertilizer has certainly spurred interest in precision ag and, more specifically, variable rate application.
"In the last five years, I have seen more interest in sampling by zone and even from producers who have their own trucks for variable rate applications," he says. "We are getting to where we can variable-rate nearly everything. I even know a producer who plans to use variable rate to plant his seed this year."
Holder says he also knows some producers who are planning to buy boom control technology for variable spray applications.
"I don't know the cost of the equipment, but if you run across enough acres, then it will eventually save you money," he says.
