Near Auburn, NE, Daryl Obermeyer and Jose Guilherme Cesario Pereira Pinto are researching how using remote sensors can help farmers make informed decisions on nitrogen management in wheat. Tools such as satellite/drone imagery and a handheld GreenSeeker allow Alex Coronel and Max Pirillo, our interns featured in these photos, to assess the wheat nitrogen status of crops. Then, that data is transformed into a variable-rate nitrogen application using the Ninja Ag Platform.This is the third year that we’ve studied nitrogen needs in wheat using these tools. Our goal is to encourage farmers to continue trying out new technologies and techniques, such as the ones in this study, to make their nitrogen management more efficient!#onfarmresearch #growingresults
