Farmers Weekly focuses on the technologies and devices used in modern farming that generate vast amounts of data. When used effectively that data can make a huge difference in outcomes. But the sheer volume of that data can be a significant barrier to its effective use.
A recent article in Farmers Weekly magazine addressed the issue and provided some guidelines for effective data management, along with examples of their successful implementation. At the most basic level their suggestions can be summarised as:
- Start small - focus on what is most important first
- Set clear goals - look for measurable results that matter
- Use the right tools - choose software and apps appropriate to the task
- Expand comfortably - add capabilities as confidence grows
In additions to the basics, the article covers a wide range of practical advice and real-world examples of successful data-driven farm management programmes.
