Measuring a farm’s carbon footprint is not as simple as saying, “Cover crops were used, so that grain’s sustainably grown.” Different agricultural practices emit or sequester different amounts of carbon, so multiple farming practices must be considered when determining a farm’s environmental impact. Consider this scenario.

The term data-driven decisions is becoming increasingly common in agriculture, but how committed are farmers to using data in their everyday practices? Are they truly allowing data to influence their operations, or is it just a catchphrase thrown around by people who aren't in the agricultural industry?

A recent study at the University of Kentucky Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment found that replacing 40 pounds of synthetic nitrogen with Pivot Bio PROVEN® 40 can increase corn yields while reducing reliance on synthetic fertilizer. Other results from the studies indicated higher corn yields.

This includes recording weather patterns, soil conditions, irrigation practices, crop yields, and any other relevant metrics. As weather patterns become increasingly unpredictable, it's more challenging to plan crop rotations, planting, irrigation, and other tasks that depend heavily on the weather.

In agriculture, growers must work with quality earth that contains healthy levels of soil nutrients. When striving to grow lush, healthy plants that produce favourable yields, soil nutrient quality must be high. Agricultural chemical products can also speed up natural processes that further deplete soil nutrients.

Integrated pest management, or IPM, is a sustainable and environmentally-friendly approach to controlling pests in agriculture. Cultural practices that can be used in an IPM program include crop rotation, selecting pest-resistant varieties, proper irrigation and fertilization, and maintaining proper soil pH.

Farmers widely use pesticides for controlling pest populations and diseases in agricultural production systems. However, resistance to pesticides is a significant problem in agriculture, resulting in lower crop yields and increased pesticide use, which can have negative environmental and health impacts.
