The role of precision agriculture has become invaluable. A well structured precision agriculture program can be utilized to monitor and manage every aspect of farming. Improvements in technology have increased accuracy of data collection from a few feet to within a couple of inches. Variable rate technology can now be used when planting seed and applying lime and many other nutrients.

Central Valley Cooperative introduced its Central Advantage GS precision agriculture program in 2003. The program started with 10,000 acres and consisted of basic data analysis and variety selection. Since its introduction, Central Advantage has grown to over 100,000 acres, which represent 80 different farming operations.

The program offers a number of valuable precision tools that can be used to increase production. Variable rate technology is used to write variable rate prescriptions for seed, fertilizer, and lime. Central Advantage also offers a complete data management tool. Data is collected, analyzed, and compiled each year to increase the accuracy of our recommendations and the production of your acre.

Planting, VR fertilizer application, soil testing, and yield data are layered and used together when analyzing and managing each field. Central Advantage GS is a complete farm management tool.
