3 Precision agriculture tools help producers make the most from their least By RON LYSENG, Winnipeg Bureau

Imagine converting the poorest areas on the farm into the highest producing acres. Wade Mitchell doesn’t need to imagine it. He did it four years ago as a small-scale experiment on his 2,500 acre farm in east-central Iowa. Mitchell says his real time kinetics equipped scraper

After moving eroded soil from the surface drains to the eroded knolls, the soybean yield for the knolls exceeded 35 their surface drains. bu. This soil came from the central drain, designated as area 6. “We started thinking about doing this experiment after The results were not surprising.

While Kansas-based Veris Technologies gets the agricultural attention, few people know that a Canadian company was the first to manufacture a soil electrical conductivity instrument. Geonics Limited of Mississauga, Ont., manufactured its first electromagnetic induction geophysical instrument in 1962. It was the EM15, and since then the EM series has become the staple tool of researchers and soil scientists worldwide. It’s played a vital role in understanding salinity on agricultural soil, but Geonics representative Mike Catalano ON said agriculture has actually been a small fraction of the I

The new Kubota-mounted RapidProbe pulls 10 cores per minute and is aimed at large farmers and smaller input dealers.

SPRINGFIELD, Illinois — The new RapidProbe soil sampling ma- chine pulls twice as many cores per hour as a man on a quad. RapidProbe is the latest high performance soil sampler from Ag-Robotics, the company that produces the tracked on-the-go AutoProbe soil sampler. “AutoProbe was developed for large input dealers and suppli- ers who have a big footprint that requires sampling,” says AgRo- botics chief executive officer Jeff Burton. Capable of pulling 20 cores per minute on the go, the original Auto-Probe is unchallenged as the top performing soil sampling unit. Burton said once AutoProbe was on the market, the company saw a rapidly growing demand for soil sampling machinery that would be more efficient than units on four-wheelers and pickups. “RapidProbe is still a stop and go machine.
