Farming 4.0
Digitalization and technological progress are also moving into agriculture very quick. This gives the farmer relief and flexibility. It also requires him to be able to interpret this information correctly and to take the appropriate measures.
Automatic systems such as a milking robot simplify information gathering for the farmer. These systems constantly monitor and measure their work and the resulting products. With this information, the farmer can see what he needs to focus on. In emergencies, messages can also be sent to his smartphone, so the farmer is on alert around the clock.
Navigation systems and networked machines make it possible to use crop protection products (chemicals), fertilizers and seeds in a targeted and economical manner. This conserves nature and saves resources. Even at harvest, this technique can show its advantages. For example, less passes are needed. The yields and quality are continuously collected by the machine. With this data, the cultivation for the following years can be improved.
