Growers now have many sources of data on their farms including: yield maps; soil EC data; UAV imagery; as applied input maps; tractor fuel use; and weather data. The amount of data can become overwhelming, and if not properly managed, useless. In this round table discussion, we encourage growers, consultants, researchers and technology providers to all share their ideas on how to capture the most value from the multiple data streams coming onto the farm. Example topics for discussion include sharing experiences of how data has been used to improve profitability, questions on how to organize data, and favorite tools to tame the data jungle.
