Introduction

Case study
• President (Omer) of co (Digitize Agri Services) contacted
by a large farm customer (Mr. Michael Bennett) whose is
facing problems in his agriculture business.

• Customer is looking forward to resolve his two

communicated and five potential problems in grow his
crops
Introduction
Customer details
• Name
• Mr. Michael Bennett
• Farm Location
• Ottawa- Eastern Canada
• Farm Size
• 300 Acres
• Current Main equipment on Farm
• Manual operated Tractor, plow, Harrows, Seeders, Fertilizer
Spreader, Combine, irrigation system.
Issues faced by the customer

Communicated by customer
1. Labor costs
• significantly increases prime cost for the crop

2. Rising input Prices

• Overall increases the total cost of crop, making it difficult to sell it
at competitive prices.
Issues faced by the customer

Other potential Problem Faced by Customer

1. Gradual Decrease in Production
2. Disease/Pest
3. Changing Climate
4. Soil lssues
5. Increased Fertilizer/chemical usage
Solution to the problem

• Precision Agriculture technology

• The concept of “doing the right thing
in the right place at the right time”
has a strong intuitive appeal.
• An integrated agricultural
management system incorporating
several technologies.
• Precision farming is defined as
information and technology based
farming management system to
identify, analyze, and manage
variability within fields for optimum
profitability, sustainability and
protection of land resources
Technology/Methodology to implement PA

• GPS (High precision positioning

systems)
• GPS based applications can be used
field mapping, soil sampling,
tractor/machine guidance, crop
scouting, variable rate applications,
and yield mapping
Technology/Methodology to implement PA

• Robotics (Automated steering systems)

• autonomous machines that are

remotely/controlled controlled, energy efficient,
highly agile.
Technology/Methodology to implement PA

• Soil mapping & Field Scouting

• Analysis with different on site sensors
and laboratory testing.
• Identify and record the location of
problem or events that affect production
including soil differences, insect
infestations, fertility deficiencies and
weed problems.
Technology/Methodology to implement PA

• Yield Monitor
• Measure yield and grain moisture in a field using
crop yield measuring devices installed on
harvesting equipment
Time & Cost Associated

• Technology implementation on the go

• Equipment or Machinery’s financing/rent cost
• Training cost of staff
• Laboratory testing cost
• Data collection, report preparation
Expected outcome/conclusion after the
implementation of PA Technologies
• It will help to create a system to help
customer with decision making, enabling
them to have a deeper, richer knowledge
about their farm, in addition to;
• Optimum Productivity
• Low Labor cost
• Right fertilizer use
• Increased efficiency
• Better control over Soil & climate change
• Information to act on
• Conserve energy
• Protect environment
