Agriculture Roundup for Friday September 25, 2020
MELFORT, Sask. – SaskTel and the University of Saskatchewan (USask) are partnering to launch a “living laboratory” at the university’s Livestock and Forage Centre of Excellence (LFCE) to test, develop and demonstrate world-class agricultural technologies.
Smart farming involves collecting and analyzing data so producers can make informed and sustainable farm management decisions that improve productivity.
This initiative will focus on conducting research, improving education around smart farming, and testing and validating new agtech ideas and solutions.
The LFCE would be the first research Smart Farm in Canada focused on maximizing efficiency in livestock operations.
