5 Reasons To Choose Precision Farming
Investing in precision farming can transform your agricultural operations, making them more productive, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly.
- Enhanced Crop Yields
Precision farming uses data-driven insights to optimise planting, irrigation, and fertilisation, helping farmers achieve higher crop yields. By tailoring inputs to specific field conditions, you can maximise your output and efficiency. - Cost Savings
By applying water, fertilisers, and pesticides only where and when they are needed, precision farming reduces waste and lowers overall input costs. This targeted approach helps you manage resources more effectively, saving money in the long run. - Sustainability
Precision farming promotes environmentally friendly practices by reducing the over-application of chemicals and conserving water. This sustainable approach helps protect soil health and biodiversity while reducing the farm's carbon footprint. - Improved Decision Making
Advanced technology, such as GPS and sensors, provides real-time data on soil, weather, and crop conditions. This allows farmers to make informed, data-driven decisions that improve overall productivity and efficiency. - Increased Farm Efficiency
Automation and technology streamline many farm operations, reducing the need for manual labour and minimising errors. This means farmers can work smarter, not harder, and dedicate more time to other important aspects of farm management.
New Holland Guidance
Raven have been a pioneer in precision agriculture for decades and released an autonomous tractor earlier this year. They offer the latest application control such as PWM, as well as seeder modules for upgrading seed drills to ISOBUS. The Raven technology will be integrated into New Holland tractors going forwards and will play a pivotal role with the on board solutions.
In terms of current technology available, the screens are capable of doing automated headland turns, in field data sharing, wirelessly data transfer, section control, variable rate; basically everything which we have been used to. The Farm Management Software is probably one of the most advanced pieces of software on the market, due to the acquisition of Ag DNA back in September 2019, now re-branded as CNH. This software is capable of recording all data from any display and with an API connected allows the connection to other software companies to wirelessly import data. Keep a look out for some training courses in the new year, in our new training facility which is currently under construction.
CNH also own AgXtend which specialises in emerging precision farming and ISOBUS solutions in the agricultural industry, this includes crop sensors, speciality crop yield mapping, soil sampling sensors and electrical weed control, the latter looks very interesting which uses electrification to kill weeds, this type of non-chemical weed control will certainly generate a lot of interest.
SmartStriker X: Precision Farming for a Sustainable Future
Compact, Lightweight, and Packed with Advanced AI Technology
Rea Valley Tractors excited to introduce the SmartStriker X, a game-changing innovation in spot spraying technology. Now available in the UK through our exclusive partnership with Carbon Bee, this cutting-edge system combines advanced AI capabilities with RGB and hyperspectral cameras, setting a new benchmark in precision agriculture.
The Ultimate Farming Technology for Unmatched Accuracy
The SmartStriker X utilises hyperspectral imaging to analyse over 400 wavelengths, delivering unrivaled precision in identifying weeds, crops, diseases, and even nitrogen levels.
Unlike traditional sensors or multispectral cameras, which analyse only 5–20 wavelengths, the SmartStriker X ensures ultra-targeted applications, from selective weed control to plant-specific fungicide treatments, saving resources and maximising yields.

Real-time NutriSense NIR sensing
GRAIN. FORAGE. SLURRY.
Optional on Forager Cruiser and CX/CR flagship combines NutriSenseTM NIR sensor nutrient analysis is fully integrated with the IntelliViewTM displays and records crop moisture and nutrient parameters, including moisture and protein, in real-time with outstanding 2% accuracy. The recorded data can be used to make nutrient content maps uploaded to the MyPLM®Connect portal for future analysis to make informative decisions on tailored inputs for enhanced future yields.
On the forager the NutriSense™ system near infrared (NIR) technology is used to measure:
- Moisture Content
- Crude Protein
- Crude Fat
- Starch
- NDF (Neutral Detergent Fiber)
- ADF (Acid Detergent Fiber)
- Ash
COMMERCIAL BENEFITS
- Make decisions based on the nutritional value of the harvested crop
- Offer industries specific requested protein levels
- Blend different grain qualities to reach a certain quality
AGRONOMICAL BENEFITS
- Map the nutritional values of the harvested crop and use it as an input for creating variable-rate fertilizer maps to maximize crop nutritional value, yields and lower operating costs.
- Growers can manage and balance soil nitrogen levels over the full growing cycle.
- Provides full traceability of harvested crops.
- Evaluate different crop/seed varieties based on nutritional value.
