Learn How to Buy, Manage and Optimize Precision Agriculture Technology.

Wallace: The GPS Guru

My name is Jordan Wallace and I am a partner with a company called GPS Ontario. We have been in business for 8 years selling precision farming equipment to progressive farmers in eastern Canada.

I was asked to write this blog for Farms.Com to help growers learn more about the equipment, management and peripheral issues relating to GPS precision farming practices. With that said I’m hoping to settle a few myths and answer your questions, but my primary objective is to help you understand what GPS is, what it can do for you, what problems you might run into, and what to look for before you purchase your first or next precision ag product.

Right out of the gate, I think that many of the issues that farmers face are due to a lack of training and education. Most of the questions that I receive are those of doubt, for example, “will that system really do what you say it will”. These questions arise when buyers don’t have the right information, or they are dealing with a reseller who isn’t properly trained. There is a significant amount of misinformation out there.

I hope you’ll follow along and help steer the discussion with your questions, comments and experiences.

Over the next few months I will be addressing the following topics:

· The top 5 issues I see with signal source and accuracy.
· What to look for in training courses.
· How to keep your components up to date.
· Where I see precision ag equipment/management heading.
· How to justify the purchase of precision ag equipment.

If you have any topics that you would like to have addressed please feel free to send mean email and I will try to get them answered for you.

10% of the Cows, Half the Beef Exported: How Canada Punches Above Its Weight

With just under 3.5 million beef cows and a fed kill shy of 3 million head, Canada raises a fraction of North America’s cattle — but exports roughly half of what it produces as live cattle or beef. Canadian Cattle Association (CCA) General Manager Ryder Lee says Alberta–Saskatchewan cow country, Ontario and Alberta feeding hubs, and U.S. packing plants in Washington, Utah and Pennsylvania are tightly interlinked, making border access and science-based trade rules non-negotiable for producers on both sides. Raised on a commercial cow-calf operation in southern Saskatchewan — just 20 miles north of Montana — Lee grew up in what he describes as “cattle country.” After earning an animal science degree, he spent six years in agricultural sales with Dow AgroSciences before stumbling into cattle industry association work. He spent a decade in Ottawa doing policy lobbying, then served seven years as CEO of the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association before joining CCA as General Manager three y
