UTILIZING ADVANCEMENTS IN TECHNOLOGY

Jagels Farms is a progressive agricultural operation and is continually improving our processes. We currently utilize auto steer, seed prescriptions, row command, row sense, variable rate fertilizing, variable rate irrigation, yield maps, artificial insemination and embryo transfer.

AUTO STEER allows us to be more precise in our driving and allows the operator to more closely monitor the field operation they are doing.

SEED PRESCRIPTIONS allow us to vary the seeding rate for different hybrids as we go through the field. These are all downloaded before we plant so the planter knows what rate to plant each hybrid.

ROW COMMAND is a tool that shuts off specific rows when it senses that they have been planted, thus nothing is double planted, saving seeds and leading to higher field yields.

ROW SENSE steers the combine during corn harvest, as wands sense the rows, letting the operator more closely monitor the combine.

VARIABLE RATE FERTILIZING AND IRRIGATION allow the operator to put more or less fertilizer and water on different parts of the field. Yield maps allow us to see what part of the fields yield higher than others. We can then go to these parts of the field and do some testing to try to enhance yields by raising the lower yielding areas or planting more seeds in the higher yielding areas for more yield.

ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION AND EMBRYO TRANSFER allow us to choose the genetics we use in our cattle operation and raise more productive females and bulls. We can utilize a broader genetic base and keep our costs lower.
