Innovative Tools to Improve Agriculture Efficiencies
Information is Power. With so many software tools available for each segment of agriculture it is now possible to manage, track, analyze and make decisions based on a variety of metrics. For example, a farmer can track and manage a farm’s effect on the environment using tools such as EnviroAg’s CAFOpro. This tool enables tracking and making proper decisions to be compliant with the EPA related to wastewater, runoff and standing water. It is a collection point for all of the data and documents necessary to insure compliance. Another software tool is Poultry Management Systems’ NOAH system. NOAH collects data regarding the environment and controls the amount of water and feed available for the laying hens. It also manages lighting and temperature to insure the best environment for laying hens. Using software tools to collect and analyze data enables those in the egg business to be better stewards of their most precious commodity, the laying hens that produce the eggs.
