1. Unmanned Aerial Systems and Remote Sensing for Cranberry ProductionWisconsin is the largest producer of Cranberries in the United States with 5.6 million barrels produced in 2017. To date, Precision Agriculture technologies adapted to cranberry production have been limited. The objective of this research was to assess the feasibility of the use of commercial remote sensing devices and Unmanned Aerial Systems in cranberry production. Two commercially available sensors were assessed for use in cranberry production: 1) MicaSense Red Edge and 2) Zenmuse XT. Initial... B. Luck, J. Drewry, E. Chassen, S. Steffan |
2. Have Your Steak and Eat It Too: Precision Beef Management to Simultaneously Reduce Ech4 and Increase ProfitAchieving carbon net zero is a clear priority, with beef farmers under significant scrutiny from food system stakeholders. Tools are available to assess greenhouse gas emissions (GHGe), yet adoption is low, and producers are not currently financially incentivised to change management practices. This study used cattle performance data from a commercial beef operation to model the optimal age and weight at slaughter to maximise profit and reduce enteric methane (eCH4) emissions at the... K.
