The raw data capturing power of FieldView is impressive to say the least! From planting and application data all the way to the finish line with yield data, FieldView helps me streamline processes and ultimately helps guide me to make better decisions.

How do you capture data and make decisions on your farm?

Riesterer & Schnell brought out this awesome combine and tractor. John Deere S7.800 C12F and a 8R370 is an amazing combo and a pleasure to have on our farm! So much technology I was drooling all day!

Buckle up this is a long one. Here are the results after gathering all the yield data across 2 states and 3 different bean species and a few thousand acres.

- Kidney Bean high yield = 4571lbs per acre
- Black Bean high yield = 5170lbs per acre
- Soybean high yield in IL = 122 bu/ac
- Soybean high yield in WI = 82 bu/ac

- 2 fields were split with a conventional late model planter outfitted with PP technology

Field 1 - 15 bu better with new planter
Field 2 - 12 bu better with new planter (conventional side was strip tilled with fertility, new planter side was only high speed disc with no added fertility.

On average we had a 15-20% increase across the three crops.

Next year will be full of improvements and more trials. Now we have a starting point to go off of. Improvements will be made to the planter and process. One thing is a fact, changeu the environment the seed goes into and change the plant and outcome. We were expecting some higher yields but were ultimately left with a bank of knowledge and many more questions.

We want to thank everyone who for following along with us, it has been fun and we have learned a lot.

These planters are not for sale, you are watching 4 guys that are passionate about agriculture and passionate about improving and getting better. Hopefully you enjoy the information and the journey. Thanks for tuning in!
