Precision Agriculture in Virginia
Thursday, May 16, 2024 · 9 am–noon
VSU Randolph Farm Pavilion, 4415 River Road, Petersburg, VA
Farmers and Growers will have the opportunity to learn about the different aspects of managing their farm field by field and intra-field by using multiple inputs that occur during the growing season up through post-harvest, along with the aids to farmers that make the decisions easier to make, such as precise soil testing locations to determine intra-field variables, disease or pest test results, or pre-side-dress nitrate testing, which will reduce variability in yields and increase farm profits.
Space is limited to 30 participants.
