Spraying and mowing with special combinations

22 May 2017 - Redactie Boerenbusiness - 15 comments

The time of spraying and mowing has come again. This was preceded by laying out land at the beginning of May. Sometimes special combinations are involved.

In this photo report from Agrifoto.nl we see, among other things, a special self-propelled sprayer in the tulips.

Do you have a tip, suggestion or comment regarding this photo report? Let us know

Maybe special combinations. Nice pictures of machines.
The result that is currently showing itself is tight, sterile fields. Which, if it is up to the ICT and can farmers, will soon be processed by robots. Above ground everything uniform and sprayed to death without any other (disruptive) life and underground life that has been crushed to death or otherwise starves.
Would the Creator have envisioned this, people?
Hendrik 23 May 2017
I think so, as you said he is the Creator after all.
Jan 23 May 2017
@Hendrik, if you mean man as creator, you think it's right on your side: ruining everything with little respect for the Creator and his creation.
As outlined.

You shouldn't have this kind of discussion here. Let everyone express their own faith without being bothered with it and without bothering others with it!!!!!
Hendrik 23 May 2017
Totally agree with you Eric!
Jan 24 May 2017
@Erik&Hendrik. You are responding to the last sentence of my piece.
What about the first part? Is that (future) image also inappropriate on this forum? Or is that exaggerated/desirable/inevitable or a doomsday scenario.

can you think about that?

it's called progress and you can't stop it even if you wanted to. You don't have to agree with that, but to say in advance that it doesn't work is also very short sighted. If we had never developed we would still walk in bearskins and transport ourselves on foot or by hollow tree trunk, the question is whether that would have made you happy.
Jan 24 May 2017
@Erik. I wonder what the nature and purpose of that 'progress' are. Moreover, as an entrepreneur you draw your own plan or is that against ''progress''. To what extent may the subsidy policy and other regulations serve this 'progress'?
In the past year there has been much talk about soil quality and soil life. If you mean that seriously, a sterile field is counter-productive. If it moves towards sterile fields with robots, Dutch consumers will then start steering arable farmers and livestock farmers. You don't want that as a farmer, do you? Then you should not be open to these modernities proactively. Unless you want to grow cheap bulk products for the world market. That will be a burden with rising land prices.

@jan, subsidies are for innovation and development. So not like, for example, the windmills that have been running with subsidy for 30 years. I have no problems with certain subsidies, you just have to ask yourself what suits you and what doesn't and leave the rest to others
January 25 May 2017
The subsidies and policy measures seem to focus mainly on cans and ICT, while promoting diversity (i.e. no sterility) and (soil) life are necessary. is necessary.
The hype around ICT, the usefulness of which can still be guessed at, demands a lot of money for research by people who seek refuge (their bread and career) from it. Why are we letting this happen?
Is that the purpose of these grants?
Is innovation only what technology devises? Or can it go a little deeper, towards the root causes of increasing problems? PPO asks for money for nematode research, let's spend the scarce resources there instead on the ICT/precision hype.
If industry and commerce see benefit in this, let them develop it at their own expense, they will reap the benefits. or not. Their risk.

good point

@Eric E
n How do you (and others who also think it is a good point) implement this in your company and in influencing agricultural foremen/politicians?
If you think it's a good point and leave it at that, it kills.
It is about the future of your company and the possibilities you create.

chopping straw, supplying solid manure, no (or as few) heavy machines, and common sense instead of. only listen to your advisors, they are only out for their own gain

You don't need the possibilities for your own company when it comes to soil management and cultivation techniques. As an entrepreneur you have to delve into this yourself and get started, then you will reap the benefits yourself. And what the foremen and lobbyists think is of them and often based on very little adequate
cultivation knowledge! It can also be their job if they want to stay up to date to delve into this themselves!

@petatje
agree with your own company. That is your primary responsibility and you don't have to worry about 'the rest'.
the media and industry, banks deserve attention and feedback regarding their plans/approach/vision, even if they are based on air and misplaced assumptions
I can't agree with many of those plans/visions, while they will sooner or later influence your own business operations.
You don't farm on an island, do you? that is why farmers can do their thing on their own farm and work out the essential problems and solutions together. WUR, banks, politics and media are not necessary for this. Well that we know where to find each other. Before 'they' take you for a ride.
