Agtech for Agronomists News Reporter It’s time for your Farm of the Future Report. I’m Tim Hammerich. Agriculture continues to change and evolve, and technology has only accelerated the pace of these changes. In order to keep up with their farmer customers, trusted advisors like agronomists and consultants need technology of their own. Shannon Winny of GroWest Ag Ventures says pen and paper just no longer cuts it. Winny… “Right now we're dealing with such large fields. We have fields that are up to 1200 acres in size. You can't keep track of every area in those fields with a pen and paper, you need geo referencing. You need to have all of that data to say, okay, this is where this weed patch is, or this is where, you know, we're seeing bug outbreaks. We need to spray this area specifically, and not the areas around it. Agriculture is just changing so rapidly and we need to start really targeting specific zones and how to effectively manage those zones.”
