Success Stories

LDL Klamroth

Because of the location of his farm North of the Harz, where soils are heterogeneous and precipitation is low, Rüdiger Klamroth has been working with site-specific cultivation methods for almost 20 years on both his own farm and with his enterprise, the Landwirtschaftliche Dienstleistungen und Logistik GmbH & Co. KG. In 2010 he received the TF Base Map from .

His conclusion:
"Everything looks different from above? No, the TF Base Map has confirmed my results from other techniques like soil scanning or the farm soil map. At the same time, the data is available fast and for my whole farm, and the effort I as the farm manager had to put in was low. Especially in regions, for which there is only little information about the site characteristics available, the TF Base Map is a sound and reasonably priced information source. Now I want to take the cooperation a step further and use TalkingFields also for my daily crop management. We're going to work on this in 2011!"

Conclusions of the company holder Shumsky Sergey:
"It is very important to develop the project further. We want continue our work with talkingfields, especially since we already conducted an additional talkingfields monitoring of our fields in 2010. We want to use the talkingfields results with our other precision farming components (online sensor, soil probes, yield mapping) to get positive economic results on our fields. With talkingfields data it is a real, practical, Russian precision farming project!"
