Digital Farms

Farming is changing with new environmental schemes, regulations, smart technology… but RHIZA is ready. All Agrii iFarms and Technology Centres include digital and precision trials in order to establish integrity in the solutions and advice used by RHIZA. In addition to this, we work with RHIZA customers to ground-truth our tools, which gives us the ability to learn from every season and farming situation.

WHAT ARE DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY FARMS?

The Digital Technology Farm (DTF) trials are bringing the “field of the future” to our agronomists and growers. We believe that data from various digital tools can guide crop management decisions all year round. 

With Digital Technology Farms, we have the opportunity to develop, trial and demonstrate technologies at farm scale to determine their true benefits in a commercial setting in comparison with ‘field of today’ practices.

The project will compare standard farm practices with data-driven decisions to see how they can work together to benefit growers in multiple ways.

THE CHALLENGE AHEAD FOR UK FARMING

The agricultural industry faces many pressures including the requirement to justify decisions for agronomic and nutritional inputs on crops. This is especially relevant when considering environmental targets and aspirations for UK agriculture to reach net zero by 2040.

With this in mind, we must understand how real-time data can help us to tackle the above challenges as well as provide economic and time saving efficiencies to farming enterprises.

 

“We have actually been finding the technologies increasingly valuable in a number of ways.  We’re looking to make more and more of them as our DTF trialling shows us how they can best be applied to our own particular need.”

“More accurate information used in the most effective way will undoubtedly help us farm even better and more sustainably.”

“We are just beginning to appreciate all the things digital technologies can do.”
