"Some farmers are in for a very expensive learning lesson." – Maury Micklich, Progro Agriculture @ProgroAg Maury’s talking fertility. When the ground is this dry, blanket spending doesn’t pay. You’ve got to sample, map, and target the acres that actually give you a return. This week on What the Futures, Maury breaks down where fertilizer dollars make sense (and where they don’t). I’ll be honest—I was a bit surprised by what he shared. 🎧 What the Futures Podcast. Episode 95 live now. photo credit: Ryan Olson

“Throw it in the bin and wait”… that’s not a plan. Markets are giving signals: -Wheat futures set a new low -Canola hit a 5-handle - Basis is getting nasty in spots Let’s talk about it on episode 95. This week I brought in Maury Micklich with Progro Agriculture (@ProgroAg ) to get practical on fall fertility—soil sampling, mapping, and where to actually place dollars when the ground is dry. 🎧What the Futures Podcast: Listen while you’re getting the bales off the field.

We had over 100 sprayers running #SWATCAM in 2024 collecting 35 million images. Ex data - same farm but one field showed up with 2.4 plants/ft2 versus the more common 4.3 plants/ft. Client is in our #Yieldanalytics program and yield was 9% lower. 4000 image data set.

Last week I had the opportunity to speak at the @CCAOntario AGM on @swatmaps. A comment back was that I could have given my presentation on this one slide, and how we are trying to manage multiple things using the SWAT zones. The key aspect of using this system is matching crop input rates relative to expected response.

Did you know? @swatmaps engineers have been working with a team at the @UofAResearch with support from @ABInnovates as well as projects with @PAMI_Machinery and @agbiousask with support from @InnovationSask on advancing soil sampling and analysis technology. Most of the soil nutrient sensing tech available today just isn't good enough. We are working to be much better. Another @MitacsCanada project just approved to "develop a portable laser based system for soil analysis". Lot's of people working with us on this. youtube.com/watch?v=UKkvqsLa…

Too smoky for sat imagery? This @swatmaps customer will be utilizing their Jul 10 #swatcam soybean coverage map for 2nd pass on/off fungicide Rx. #multiuse

Did you know? Not all mapping processes and software methodologies for processing soil sensor data are the same. Competitor (L) and SWAT BOX (R) using the same internal sensor device! There is plenty of this - just because you get it mapped doesn’t mean the process yields the best data. Trust a @swatmaps service provider to optimize soil data collection!

For sale: Trimble FMX-1000 with AG-25 receiver and RV-55 cellular modem and some associated harnesses. Moved to a single GPS brand so no longer need this unit.

Curious what #SWATMAPS actually are and how they fit into our #SWATECOSYSTEM? Check out this detailed introduction from our VP of Agronomy, Wes Anderson (@fielddirt) bit.ly/3X1ZbrG 👀

This fall, I worked on a project looking at variability within 2.5ac grid squares that were #SWAT mapped. We sampled 4 fields in PEI, with 4 grid squares per field. We found variability within zones (expected), but some of the variability within grids were quite high.
