[QUOTE="gizmom, post: 1384423, member: 13402"] The boss purchased some new technology for planting and applying fertilizer. I can't remember the name of it but it is in the tractor, the way it works is as you go over the pasture it paints it on the screen. The idea is to save on seed and fertilizer and I have to admit it seems to have reduced our cost for both. He did say he needs a better antenna he just has the one that came with the unit. When he gets near a stand of trees he loses connection due to the weak antenna. Another piece of technology that we use is EID tags on the cattle. It is pretty nice to scan a tag and have all the data on that cow come up sure helps with the tracking of the individual animal. From the first time we weigh a calf we can tract ADG without having to enter all the data into a spreadsheet, which is how we did it until we got the new scale and EID reader. I think biology is important but I also think staying informed and utilizing new technologies is important to the success of an operation. gizmom [/QUOTE]
