How many years of yield data do you need to make better management decisions? In this episode of Farming the Countryside, Advanced Agrilytics’ Dr. Kess Berg joins Andrew McCrea to explain why the more useful question may be which years you need, and what those seasons reveal about your acres.
Drawing on his experience growing up on a farm, Kess discusses how differences within a field shape crop productivity. Understanding those environments, including how water moves across and through the soil, helps growers identify management practices suited to each acre. Yield data from dry and wet seasons can offer different clues about what limits performance and where opportunities exist.
Listen to the conversation for Kess’s perspective on spatial agriculture, interpreting yield data, and improving the productivity of the acres you farm.
