Farming Decisions With myFS Agronomy: A new era of Data-Driven Farming

 In today’s ever-changing landscape, data is the cornerstone of smarter, more efficient farming. County Farm Centre has launched the myFS Agronomy platform aiming to revolutionize how growers and crop advisors collaborate, make agronomic decisions and optimize operations. By combining cutting-edge technology with actionable insights, myFS Agronomy puts the power of informed decision-making directly into your hands, enabling you to better manage the fields and resources.

What is myFS Agronomy and how does it work?

It is a comprehensive digital platform available both as a mobile application and in a browser-accessible format on your computer/laptop. It is primarily designed to centralize data, provide real-time field insights/situations to help you simplify farm management and make correct decisions based on agronomic insights. It seamlessly integrates data from various sources-such as weather models, imagery, machine data, topography, disease sensors etc. and gives you insights based on the data. Utilizing the information available on the platform and making decisions accordingly can help you make sound agronomic decisions, enhance productivity and improve profitability.

What Agronomic tools and resources do you get?

  • Scouting and Reports: The platform provides you with real-time notifications and detailed reports of your field as soon as the Crop advisors and Scouts perform field scouting. You are able to see and track field conditions, create scouting reports yourself and share insights with your crop advisors immediately.
  • Tracking your crop Growth: Planting details can be entered for each field whenever it goes into planting. You can enter the planting date, seeding rate, crop type etc. Entering these details calculates the Growing Degree Days (GDD)s accumulated in each field from the day of planting and accurately predicts the growth of corn and soybeans on your fields.
  • Weather Insights: Delivers hyper-localized weather data to guide operational decisions. From regional overviews to field-specific forecasts, you can adjust strategies in real-time.
  • Disease Insights: Predicts high-risk environments using advanced modeling and in-field sensors. Users can proactively manage disease threats before they escalate.
  • Connected System: The platform centralizes all relevant data—boundaries, weather models, disease models, imagery, and more—into a single hub for easy access and transparency.
  • Ag Analytics: Leverages advanced algorithms to provide actionable insights from complex datasets. Users can identify problems early, optimize crop health, and improve resource efficiency.

How does the available information benefit your operation?

  • Proactive farming decision:
    With real-time scouting reports, live pictures and satellite imagery, users can see problems in the fields, anticipate further challenges and know why a certain agronomic intervention needs to be done at a certain time to protect yield and optimize resources.
  • Agronomic decisions based on crop requirements:
    Tracking your crop growth allows you to make agronomic applications when they need to be made, thus giving you the greatest ROI from a specific intervention. For example, your ability to track corn growth by entering the planting date would help you decide on the proper timing of fungicide application for a specific disease: Eg. Silking (R1) stage for Ear Rot and Tar Spot in Corn.
  • Timing of applications and harvesting in fields:
    Weather data and analytics show the ground workability of your fields based on available weather data. It can help you make decisions on whether to go or not to go in a field for applications or harvesting.
  • Simplified Operations:
    By consolidating all farm-related data into one platform, myFS Agronomy eliminates the need for multiple tools or manual analysis. This streamlines planning and enhances operational efficiency.
  • Enhanced Collaboration:
    The platform fosters stronger relationships between you and crop advisors by enabling transparent data sharing and efficient communication. Whether it’s discussing crop diagnostics or planning fieldwork, everyone stays on the same page.
  • Long-Term Sustainability
    Aggregated historical data on fertility, weeds, pests, disease and crop stand helps you make informed decisions for future seasons. This contributes to sustainable farming practices while maximizing profitability.
