Working with remote imaging, SkyHawk Consulting specializes in the application and research of advanced yield variance predictions and applications.  These images are overlayed on current or future grid soil samples, or to make zones and to take zone soil samples to give every acre of a field its own target yield.  This technology, married to variable rate fertility programs, variable rate planting programs or variable rate pesticide programs, will enable a grower to spend less money on less productive soils and maximize potential on the good soils.  In tens of thousands of acres of study we have found that on the average, a grower is fertilizing or planting correctly on about 1/3 of every field. Pressure on growers to produce profits at today’s high fertilizer and land prices makes it imperative to use technology that will increase the bottom line.  SkyHawk can even assist growers with their GPS combine yield mapping in order to use VRT on their acres for variable rate fertility and variable rate planting.
