Water Technology Farms Aim to Increase Sustainability

The KCC has been a major funder of the Kansas Water Technology Farm projects. Working with the Kansas Water Office and the state’s Water Vision program, Kansas Corn has provided financial support for the research being conducted on these innovative farms that test new technology on farm fields to use groundwater for irrigation more efficiently.

K-State’s Innovative Web App: myFields.info

K-State’s myFields.info web-based application is an open-source, extension-based application that will provide farmers with customized, science-based support tools to improve farming practices. (The application is supported with corn checkoff dollars by the KCC.)

myFields can help link farmer data with crop models to optimize farming operations. The web-based application provides an efficient method to push content to users when and where they need it, refined further by variety grown, planting date and growth stage.

Efficient delivery of information between farmers and researchers is accomplished by simply asking who, when and where.
