A: If you have integrated technology on your farm, use it to its fullest potential. There are plenty of programs out there that don’t get used 100% of what they are able to do. If you don’t have technology on the farm, contact a trusted agronomy adviser to look at different option as far as what programs you could integrate on your farm to make better decisions going into 2019.
