Express audit of the farm
Find out how much money you lose every year and build a strategy to modernize your farm and increase its efficiency
A plan for production modernization aimed at increasing its efficiency has to be developed on the basis of the comprehensive audit of an agricultural enterprise.
An agronomist's visit to the farm's fields
An engineer's visit to inspect machinery and equipment
Monitoring of crops by drones (UAVs)
Data collection from precision farming systems
As part of the analysis of production efficiency, it is necessary to digitize all the problems of the agricultural enterprise, concerning:
Analysis of the farm's technological map and its financial structure makes it possible to convert all problems from hectares (ha) to dollars (USD).
An agronomist's visit to analyze the state of crops gives an opportunity to assess the quality of population, emergence of seedlings, duplicates, ommissions, etc., and to identify the key problems of this technological operation.
An expert analysis of CPP application makes it possible to assess the quality and results of the operation, to identify the problems of trampling plants, ommissions and overlaps during the application of CPPs.
During the inspection of tractors, two tasks are performed at the same time: analysis of navigation infrastructure and collection of data from precision farming systems.
Inspection of planters complements analysis of sowing and crop condition monitoring conducted by the consulting agronomist and provides an opportunity to assess the technical condition of the units, to determine the need for replacement or modernization of working elements.
Inspection of sprayers complements the analysis of CPP application carried out by the consulting agronomist and provides an opportunity to assess the technical condition of the units, identify problems with navigation, section-by-section shutdown, nozzles, etc.
In order to analyze how much money the company does not receive due to the problems with technological operations, it is necessary to monitor the state of crops by drones.
After crop monitoring, a general orthophoto of each field is created. Based on this data, it is possible to digitize the contour of the field and its exact area taking into account the relief, as well as complete digitization of all problems.
As part of the digitization, the area of each problem is determined on each field: puddles, re-sowing, trampling, omissions in CPP application, CPP overflows, leaching, and others.
If the company uses farm management systems, it is necessary to obtain data on the execution of operations for analysis — monitoring of sowing, monitoring of fertilizer or CPP application, tracks of machinery and data of agrochemical soil analysis.
As part of machinery and equipment technical inspection, the engineer collects data from autopilots and precision farming systems.
Based on the collected data, an analysis of the quality of operations is carried out, including compliance with speed regimes, sowing and application rates, as well as the geometry of machinery movement on the field.
The cost of an express audit is fixed for farms and agricultural producers which cultivate up to 5,000 ha and is 1,000 USD (excl. VAT). For companies with a larger land bank, the price is calculated individually.
How long express audit takes depends on the stage of the season and the geographical location. In general, an express audit of an agricultural enterprise takes from 2 to 4 weeks from the first visit to the enterprise to reporting on the results.
It is better to carry out an express audit of an agricultural enterprise after the emergence of spring crops (corn, sunflower) or after CPP application. During this period, the visit of a consulting agronomist, as well as a UAV flight over the fields, will give the maximum effect.
Of course you can. In this case, you will receive a report with an estimate of how much money you are not receiving due to problems in the execution of technological operations, and a system plan for the implementation of precision farming technologies with a budget and calculation of return on investment (ROI).
There are two options to make sure of our competences. The first is to get a recommendation from our customers and partners. The second is to start cooperation with us in terms of a small pilot project, to get positive results in your own experience.
Of course we can. We have enough customers who are ready to give positive recommendations based on the results of cooperation with SmartFarming in the area of precision farming.
