Farm Technologies Network's mission of solving farm problems, includes finding and distributing ideas and information that address farmers problems today. Our network of people and information allows us to work in all soil types, wherever food is grown. An important part of our management structure is taking into consideration the increased input costs for growing crops.
Areas of special interest include:
- soil testing and crop fertility programs using the Albrecht
System
- microbiology - plant and leaf testing - emergency problem
solving
- agricultural economics - environmental issues
Because high quality crops are grown in the field and not created after harvesting, we must address the health of the soil to ensure the health of the crop. We help growers provide consistent crop quality and options for managing soil fertility in a variety of circumstances.
Problems of storage, color, weight, internal defects, external defect (like scab) and insect or disease pressures, can be traced to specific imbalances in the soil�s levels of fertility. In order to manage the chemical, physical, and biological components of soil, we must have a reliable soil audit to build on that allows efficient management of all resources.
We develop the best soil fertility programs for auditing soils. Our attention to the soil�s microbiology, oxygen/water management, can protect your crops and solve common issues of storage and processing quality.
Other diagnostic services include electrical conductivity mapping (Verris technology) to find trouble areas and the cause and effect connections for common storage and quality issues.
With special studies in plant science, soil fertility management, composting, microbiology, entomology and Egyptian bio geometry, Farm Technologies Network is dedicated to delivering quality solutions for quality concerns. We offer the best people, techniques, and products available.
If you want greater yield or productivity with a better bottom line, email
