Monday activities on the UGA Tifton campus. It was a productive day for the team checking stands in corn studies, calibrating #dronespreader for field data collection and fertilizing cotton plots!! #research24 #precisionag #ugatifton
Nothing beats the experience you get from being out and involved in field work as much as possible. amrinder jakhar felt the pressure yesterday but passed when asked to do some impromptu nitrogen calculations. Good to see grad students ready to learn and rise to the occassion!!
Tractor was tried up with another study so put the John Deere #autotrac on #kubota UTV to work to lay off alleys in a field where Leonardo M. Bastos and amrinder jakhar is leading a nitrogen study this year!! #agtech #precisionalleys #autoguidance #ugatifton
Guys (Ravi and Cole) getting it done on this late Friday evening. Hate I couldn’t be in that tractor but glad I got some good students who don’t care what day and time it is!! #yougottadowhatyougottado #teamworkisdreamwork #ugatifton
Planting math can get tricky sometimes but used by everyone during planting. Our new blog post cover some basic formulas and tables to make these planting calculations easier and hopefully quicker next time!! UGA Extension #plant24 #plantcals

Guys got the new #JohnDeere #Exactemerge planter dialed in and planted some corn today. Pretty impressed with the performance. I wasn’t much help due to my ankle but glad I got a great team that knows how to get stuff done!! #plant24 #agtech #corn #precisionseeding

Got another #spraydrone drift trial in today before #plant24 goes full swing across most UGA Tifton research farms. Few more of these studies and I think we can probably become experts in collecting spray drift data!! #driftteam #agtech #ugatifton
Nearly 70% of apparel is made from crude oil, and Earthday. org wants that dramatically reduced by 2040. See how natural fibers can help with #sustainability goals in the latest #LifestyleMonitor . brnw.ch/21wIIIm
Putting small research plots under a center pivot always feel like creating an artwork. Glad geospatial software's (like Ag Leader Technology SMS Advanced) comes in handy for jobs like these before you even get out in the field!! #precisionag #research24 #gis
Great experience learning about the history of Georgia Entomological Society and sharing information on application of #agtech #AI #datascience for precision pest management at their annual meeting today!! #precisionag #ugaextension
About time to get rolling and start #fieldprep #fertilization for #plant24 !! UGA Tifton Dalton Beasley
