Welker Farms Meet the Digital Age

What would you do if you could understand how your yield varies across your fields? Nick Welker takes you on a deep dive into his farm’s AFS Connect data during the FFA Horizon Conference, pinpointing what he’s learned and how he’s going to course correct for next year.

With the power of AFS Connect, Nick is able to examine how Welker Farms’ yield varies across and within its fields to get a better understanding of where they need to course-correct. 

“We kind of know it as we’re harvesting,” Nick says. “But to see that color there, and know that’s like 4 bushels an acre and over here is 40 bushels an acre, that’s discouraging, and that’s where we can hopefully improve our operation.”

Dive into the data with Nick as he walks through applications for AFS Connect throughout the year and how his farm is using the tech to optimize yields.
