Precision agriculture (PA) is a term used to encompass a range of devices to collect agriculture information and the geospatial tools to enable site specific management of food production. There are many definitions of precision agriculture (PA) which are often influenced by the specific equipment or management system being referenced. This Survey will cover all components of precision agriculture, from simple GPS guidance to advanced ‘big data’ systems with questions specific to the precision ag uses being adopted across western Canada and the barriers to technology and innovation faced by farmers on the prairies. Farmers are asked to specify the various tools and technologies they currently use and are considering for 2017.
It will benefit all agriculture stakeholders to determine the precision agriculture tools that have been adopted in western Canada. Results from this Survey will further the understanding of innovation and competitiveness in agriculture, and to inform the development of future policies and programs. Precision ag surveys have been completed in other regions to enable the comparison of adoption rates between regions.
Summary results will be available in April 2017, and shared with western Canadian grower associations, industry stakeholders and farm media. This survey is being funded by and conducted for Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. If you have any questions, please contact Dale Steele P.Ag. at dale.steele@icloud.com or by telephone at 403-382-8328. All information will be collected in compliance with the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act. The information collected is general in nature and cannot be traced back to a specific farm or individual, as contact information is not collected. The information is collected for the purposes of consultation and the Survey Monkey website has Data Privacy, Security & Confidentiality features.
