Determining the optimal seeding density is among the most important decisions a farmer can make this time of year. In every field, there are consistently low and high yielding areas. How farmers manage those zones can drastically impact profitability. In 2017, farmers using advanced seed scripting in Climate FieldView™ saw an average increase of 5 bu/ac compared to users who wrote their own scripts*. On this episode, Susan MacIsaac, Discovery Science Lead for The Climate Corporation, talks about how this tool can turn variability into an opportunity.
