Farmers utilize a range of modern toolsfrom task management applications and drones that monitor crop health to sensors and software that help forecast yields. This shift to a data-driven approach not only enhances farm operations but can significantly improve harvest outcomes, turning a good year into an exceptional one.

Cover crops refer to vegetation planted in empty fields— covering the soil, get it?—at They can also be added to crop rotations to improve soil health in fields that have been degraded from growing the same thing year after year. Cover cropping is a means of increasing soil fertility without chemicals.

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in regenerative agriculture, a holistic approach to farming that seeks to restore and revitalize the land while improving crop yields and overall farm profitability. This means increased crop yields and reduced inputs like fertilizers and pesticides.

Lastly, ever increasing crop yields over the decades has meant more calcium (Ca 2+ ), magnesium (Mg 2+ ) and potassium (K + ) leaves the field at harvest, which has the same effect as them leaching in high rainfall areas because H + is allowed to reign, and the balance of positively charged nutrients is thrown out of whack. *The

Two neighbors, Farmer A and Farmer B: both farm 1,000 acres and use the same crop rotation schedule. Farmer A tills 30% of their fields, uses cover crops on 20%, and applies anhydrous ammonia. Farmer B tills 50% of their fields, uses cover crops on 40%, and uses stable nitrogen sources. Consider this scenario.

This is especially important to encourage long-term quality plant nutrition and greater harvest yields. According to the University of Tennessee’s Institute of Agriculture , soil testing should be done on all crop types anytime a nutrient deficiency is detected or at the start of crop rotation.
