Each growing season teaches us a new lesson and winter is the perfect time to reflect on them.<\/p>

Younger generations of farmers turn to more experienced farmers for ideas and more experienced farmers search for the solutions that would elevate their practice to the next level in order to meet the strict criteria (restricted pesticide use, storage regulations, specific permissions etc.), but also help them save time, resources and even money<\/strong>.<\/p>

Contrary to what many people think, farmers don\u2019t get much rest during winter time. As the winter unfolds many farmers think about how to\u00a0boost their yield<\/strong>\u00a0next year. One of the solutions is precision agriculture, but some of them are worried that technology is complicated, and some are just not convinced that precision farming would make their lives easier. However, they are more than interested and ready to adapt to new practices. They just need a\u00a0reliable solution<\/strong>.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/h3>

Turning to precision agriculture is always a good solution<\/h3>
  1. Firstly, precision farming DOES make a farmer\u2019s life easier as\u00a0technology simplifies the day-to-day farming operations<\/strong>.<\/li>
  2. It also\u00a0reduces your costs and optimizes the budget<\/strong>\u00a0spent for farming operations.<\/li>
  3. With the help of technology, you can achieve higher profitability<\/strong>, therefore produce more, lose less and make better plans for the next season.<\/li>
  4. It can also\u00a0save you time<\/strong>, so you\u2019ll be able to put more of your time into business-oriented activities or invest it into family and hobbies.<\/li>
  5. And last but not least, precision agriculture\u00a0lowers waste and its impact on the environment<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ol>

    But what exactly is precision agriculture?<\/h3>

    Precision agriculture is a term we use to describe the technology and software systems that can provide knowledge to enhance decision-making processes in agriculture. In order to meet the needs of farmers and those of the environment, METOS\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0by Pessl Instruments developed a new category of METOS\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0weather stations \u2013\u00a0nMETOS<\/a>\u00a0to measure the most important environmental parameters\u00a0in order to prevent plant diseases and insect infestation<\/strong>, help with time management (workforce planning, spraying, irrigation) with people and machines.<\/p>

    The new era of farming<\/h3>

    The combination of the real-time and site-specific measurements that\u00a0METOS\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0weather station<\/a>\u00a0in the field makes and the analysis of those measurements done in\u00a0FieldClimate<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 an in-house developed software application results in work planning tools that will help the farmer to protect the crops throughout the season and help them boost the yield at the end of one.<\/p>

    \"nMETOS<\/a><\/p>

    With new technology, the farming processes have helped optimize a majority of field activities, but the obstacles remain the same. Besides the drought (too little water), excessive watering (too much rain or bad irrigation planning), extreme temperature (from cold to heat and\u00a0late spring frosts<\/strong>), salinity and mineral toxicity, farmers must fight the diseases and pests that are becoming a bigger threat by the year. With\u00a0nMETOS<\/a> in the field, farmers will have the crops under full remote control which will help them make the right decisions at the right time.<\/p>
