7.5 Tiny Bytes: From Bits to Petabytes: Understanding Computer Storage 8:44

۳ روز پیش8:44

8:44

We explore the fundamentals of digital storage and how it powers precision agriculture, covering basic bytes to the massive petabyte servers at GK Technology that store agricultural imagery and data. • A byte equals eight binary bits and typically represents a single character or piece of data in computer language • Digital storage units progress from kilobytes (thousand) to megabytes (million) to gigabytes (billion) to terabytes (trillion) to petabytes (thousand terabytes) • GK Technology's Halstead office maintains a petabyte of storage containing agricultural data for most of the United States and three Canadian provinces • Storage includes shapefile formats, NAIP imagery, Lidar data, and two satellite libraries: Landsat (30m resolution back to 1984) and Sentinel (10m resolution from 2016) • Precision ag software users access this massive data repository when creating drainage maps or automated management zones • Higher resolution imagery like drone photos requires significantly more storage space, creating challenges for agricultural data management https://gktechinc.com/…

4.5 Tiny Bytes: Field Boundaries, the Cookie Cutters of Precision Ag 8:22

۹ weeks پیش8:22

8:22

Field boundaries serve as the digital cookie cutters of precision agriculture, defining where field operations begin and end for optimal resource management. Understanding their purpose and creation methods allows consultants and growers to implement more precise applications and better predict input needs. • Boundaries determine where equipment turns on and off during field operations • Accurate boundaries help predict input requirements and prevent waste • Vector files (typically shape files) define the digital representation of field boundaries • Water management requires different boundary considerations than nutrient management • Creating boundaries can be done through driven collection with RTK-enabled vehicles • Drawing boundaries in GIS software requires well georeferenced backgrounds like NAIP imagery • Common Land Units (CLUs) provide a starting point but often lack precision • Moving vertices allows for refinement of boundary polygons • Accurate boundaries serve as the foundation for all precision agriculture mapping Connect with GK Technology for all your precision agriculture needs - we have a map and an app for that! https://gktechinc.com/…

4. Gridding the Zone with Ag Genesis Part 2 31:29

10 weeks پیش31:29

31:29

Kurt Turner and Lane Bothwell from Ag Genesis share their innovative "gridding the zone" approach that combines traditional zone mapping with targeted grid sampling to address pH variability in eastern South Dakota fields. They've discovered that their most productive field zones often hide significant pH problems that can be economically addressed through this hybrid sampling method. • Field topography in Eastern South Dakota creates extreme yield variability (corn yields ranging 100-240 bushels per acre) • Traditional zone sampling works well for most nutrient management in their variable landscape • Low pH problems tend cluster in high-productivity zones, not poor-performing areas as might be expected (this is not always the case, check your soil test results!) • Selective grid sampling within problematic zones can reduce sampling points by 60-70% compared to whole-field gridding • Lime application becomes more economical when precisely targeted to actual problem areas • Cost savings benefit both the service provider (fewer samples to collect) and the farmer (less lime needed) • Limited lime sources in the Dakotas make efficient application especially important • pH improvements are visible within 2-4 years of targeted lime application If you're interested in learning more about Ag Genesis, check out our previous episode where we dive deeper into their business model and precision ag philosophy.…
