Video course PRECISION FARMING in the USA and Canada
Practical experience in the implementation and application of precision farming from American and Canadian farmers, scientists, research laboratories and service companies, collected in 32 video lectures
«USA and Canada are world leaders in the development and implementation of agricultural technologies and precision farming systems. Its philosophy is pragmatism and economic expediency of all decisions in industrial agricultural production. The Midwest lands are in a similar climate zone with Ukraine, our weather conditions, crop rotations, risks and challenges coincide.
In the course of video lectures created in partnership with the educational project «Cultivariy», we talk about proven and cost-effective technologies of precision farming, which are successfully operating in the USA and Canada. You will see the full picture of the agro-industry of North America, where agricultural science, laboratories, service support are at the service of farmers»

We gathered the experience
Science experts from the leading agricultural universities in the USA and Canada
In America, scientists work closely with thousands of farmers through advisory services available at many agricultural universities. It is through the advisory service that the owner of an agricultural enterprise can receive a qualified recommendation for growing any crop. Thus, scientific research becomes a basis for farmers to make practical decisions about agricultural production technologies.
That's why in our video lectures we talk to 10 scientists from North Dakota State University (NDSU), South Dakota State University (SDSU), Kansas State University (KSU), Texas Technical University (TTU), Missouri State University (MSU).

US and Canadian farmers
We have selected 9 most interesting farms with regard to the level of implementation of precision farming, production solutions and results. Most farms are a long-term family business and a unique experience, where the professionalism of each farmer is cultivated from birth! Owners and managers recorded a video with an overview of farms and answered questions that are important for Ukrainian farmers.
Adams Family Farm
Chris Adams - farmer, owner North Dakota The size of agricultural land: about 4000 hectares Number of employees: 8 permanent, 75 seasonal
McCutcheon Farms Ltd
Warren McCutcheon, farmer, owner Manitoba, Canada The size of agricultural land: 1170 hectares Number of employees: 2 permanent, 1 seasonal
Striptillforyou
Karson Klosterman - farmer, owner North Dakota. The size of agricultural land: 2500 hectares. Number of employees: 4
Scott Family Farms

Service companies
For this course, we collaborated with 11 service companies dealing with precision farming systems, and 4 leading universities. In the video lectures, you will see how seed analysis is carried out in world-famous laboratories, to which, by the way, Ukrainian farmers send their materials, how they produce and test machinery and equipment for precision farming.
Advantages of the course
Modern research and precision farming technologies, which are already used in USA and Canada - in one course
Tips from scientists and farmers on growing the main crops in Ukraine: corn, sunflower, soybeans, wheat, rapeseed
A comprehensive approach to the transfer of experience to Ukrainian farmers
