Using Advantage Acre to Analyze This Year’s Yield Data
Digital Ag programs have been becoming a more useful tool for today’s farmers. AgReliant Genetics, LLC Digital Ag platform, Advantage Acre®, has launched some new features to go along with many other features that are currently available. The addition of these new features will allow a farmer to manage many different aspects of their farming operation.
The newest launch involves easy transfer of data from the combine monitor to your Advantage Acre program on your desktop. Advantage Acre now allows current Climate FieldView™ and MyJohnDeere users to be able to log into their respective accounts through the Advantage Acre website to sync yield data, field boundaries or any field records from your monitor into their Advantage Acre account. Not only can you import these records, but this collaboration will also allow a user to take Variable Rate Planting prescriptions made from the Advantage Acre platform and push them to your monitor through Climate FieldView or MyJohnDeere. If you do not use either of these programs, you will still be able to upload your harvest data into Advantage Acre with a simple click of a button.
Once harvest data uploading is complete, a new Analysis Tool will allow a farmer to take a closer look at how hybrids/varieties did on their farm using a variety of different criteria. For example, in soybeans, if pH is an issue there is an option to analyze a variety to the varying pH in a certain field. Another example in corn would be the option to analyze how a hybrid did based on CEC or Organic Matter in a certain field. Any one of these options will allow a user to better pinpoint the strengths of a hybrid/variety on their own farms.
Not only will you be able to analyze harvest data to different soil conditions, you will also be able to compare how different hybrids/varieties compared to each other as long as you have your planting maps uploaded into Advantage Acre. If you have multiple years of harvest data, you can also upload this data and then use the Advantage Acre platform to compare year-over-year results for a given field or hybrid/variety. All of this information can be very helpful when deciding what to do this winter for the upcoming planting season.
This is just a brief overview of what Advantage Acre can do to help maximize your return on investment for your farm. If you would like more information on what you can do, talk to your Producers Hybrids DSM, Sales Agronomist or local dealer to see what is possible with this exciting new program.
