Event Description

Information Launch Meeting: Study of Farm Business Management Planning Behaviours in Ontario

In July, 2010 AMI began working with Ipsos-Reid to conduct a study which would determine how and where farmers are getting their farm business management information and advice.  After analysing nearly 1,500 farmers from across Ontario, the baseline study is now complete.

 “What makes this study unique is that it puts quantifiable evidence behind the idea that farm business planning creates results.” says AMI Executive Director Ryan Koeslag.  The baseline study findings will help the AMI to provide credible and affordable resources to help farmers create an actionable business plan not only for times of major market changes and lack of profits, but to formulate a baseline for their own business to work from. 

Join us at the information launch where Colin Siren from Ipsos-Reid will present an in-depth look at the report findings.

Validating Autonomous Pivot’s field-monitoring technology on Innovation Farms

“Nothing is in the field more than the pivot, and yet most of them tell you very little, if anything at all, about the crop,” says Daniel Jenkins, vice president of sales for Autonomous Pivot. Autonomous Pivot’s technology uses cameras and ground penetrating radar to collect soil-moisture data, crop imagery, rainfall, pressure, GPS location, and irrigation activity to help growers make better irrigation and crop-management decisions. The company sees centre pivots, traditionally used exclusively for irrigation and fertigation, as underutilized pieces of equipment that are in the field more than any producer or agrologist. It aims to convert the centre pivot into its own reporting scout in the field. Autonomous Pivot installed its technology at EMILI’s Innovation Farms MacGregor site during the 2026 season. EMILI is validating the technology’s insights about field conditions, irrigation optimization, and pest and disease alerts. “Development is a tenuous process because you’re ask
