Back on home soil after the trip to America, it is straight back to reality, jet lag and all, and the focus now is the drilling campaign. In this episode we explain why getting the timing of drilling right is arguably even more important than harvest itself, and sit down to plan the logistics of keeping four drills running.
We also take a proper look at Cropwise, the new software we are using to pull all of the farm's scattered data, from satellite imagery and weather stations to yield maps going back to 1999, into a single system, with the ambition of eventually running the whole farm from one screen. It is an idea born on our trip to Brazil, and it could change how we make decisions. Elsewhere, the combines are being tucked away for winter, we get a bit of sticker shock at the price of a new pickup, and we walk the emerging oilseed rape, keeping a nervous eye on the flea beetle.
There is a warm word too for Nuffield after hosting some mock interviews, and a heads up about the Grandstand show at the end of the month. From a new way of managing data to the big drilling push ahead, this is another look behind the scenes of a modern farming business.
