I have a serious question that seems ludicrous, but how many growers here subscribe or use any of the yield/ mapping/satgps tracking systems such as climate fieldview, deer uhh.. link? Cases new program. They all keep track of our yields via combine. Data gets sold over to the grain companies and then what?
Pretty pooped off feeling like.what every farmer knows ( there is no grain in canada, there is no great buyer of nitrogen) yet prices drop and fertilizer goes up? How the piss does this work now?
I dunno kids. Something seems awry. Yield estimates vs Carryout numbers vs demand vs estimated year ending stocks show absolutely no reason for commodities to be dropping. Serious recessions on deck for a host of economically powerful nations.... yet they drop?

I would love to run the tech, but have a 72 year old father that wants to farm for another 30 years and most of our equipment is too old.

That said, my production and stored grain is my business. Scaling disconnected from the cloud is as far as I want to go. I don’t give qty with my samples. I summer fallow every year for stats can. Etc.

I hate giving SCIC the right numbers but have to.

why on earth would you or anyone want to run that tech? farmers are our own worst enemy's PAYING subscriptions to give away our very own data to be sold. unreal imo

Trials and eventually variable rate are 2 for me.

When I take grain samples to the various crooks I NEVER put down the bushels on each bag.
They have gotten used to that and never ask for it.

I’m only asking for grade and protein. They don’t need to ask me any questions.

If they are receiving real time data collected and map able with Google Earth interactive maps the only thing missing is the grade and protein?

You can bet every location you deal with has an "file" on all you transactions for the last 30 yrs.
This will just become an extension to that.

Head office will refine it to set profitability goals for the local manager,regionals, export terminal, etc.

The multi-nationals that adopt and adapt the quickest will swallow the ones that don't.

Conspiracy theory for the day?

More acres are going to cloud all the time. Some have great maps that you can really drill into. I can tell you the exact return on fung for example.
They claim it isn't shared, ha.
Sat info being used anyway.
Grain cos know by what's on the books and area avgs.
You're not really hiding anything and there's value in some of it. Some services, not as much. Haven't answered StatsCan in 10 years.
FWIW, I've tried Trimble, Case, and CF.
Case may or may not have after years of fumbling. Trimble a sad joke. CF is slick and easy. Just reads in the background. User friendly.

What difference does the grade and protein make they can pay you what ever they want for what ever you have. You just have to agree with them or move on. Like buying and selling anything else. Does the price change with the amount you have for sale because the quality and protein don't?
