Farming with GPS

Artisanal mushroom farming has become a booming business in recent years and while many farms already use GPS to automate the process, farmers who are serious about producing products of superior quality have been left behind. More advanced means of data collection and monitoring are key to sustainable production and that’s what this post is all about.

By adopting innovative methods for gathering data, like using mobile apps or cloud-based software, these small-scale farmers can take full advantage of today’s technology without sacrificing quality or their own time. This will allow them to perform even more dynamic experiments, use the information gathered in their logs to improve their techniques and devise new ways of maximizing productivity – all while maintaining the highest possible standard of cleanliness.

These small-scale farmers would benefit greatly from having a tool like GrowMap on hand, because they can take advantage of it as soon as they record their first volume. These farmers are already well aware of how important it is to maintain quality, but find that other methods fall short when it comes to keeping track of volumes and varieties.

Having a growing facility that is capable of constantly monitoring progress allows them to be more productive than ever. Having a remote facility connected to the internet allows for more accurate data collection and an easier way for their customers to access their logs. Additionally, farmers can log in from wherever they are and easily check on current production rates, which is an important feature for those who do not want to be tied down to a schedule.

GrowMap’s main advantage is being able to help these small-scale farmers with remote access – they no longer need to stay in one spot until the crop is “mature” in order to have access to their logs. The fact that GrowMap has many features that are geared towards remote farming facilities is another reason why this farm should seriously consider this method of monitoring their crops on a daily basis.

A Farming operation that is completely reliant on human interaction can be a real money sink, but this is not the case with remote monitoring. This allows the farmers to focus more time on truly important issues, like figuring out the best ways to keep their crops clean and healthy. Automation allows them to have a more accurate idea of what is going on with their crop at all times, and will allow them to start using it as soon as possible.

Okay, so a couple of years ago  I posted this quote from The Big Lebowski : " Nature is a crazy bastard, that's what it is.

Conclusion:

There is a good chance that you will have to drop one or more seed packets in the coop to get it to feel right.  When I started doing this, I had set up my coop in an area where it was facing south and was covered with a light canopy of berry canes.  This is what sat on top of my PVC pipe frame and was not angled downward.  This is exactly the wrong way for it to be set up.

The northern position works very well because it keeps the northern portion of your roof shaded and provides better protection from cold air that is funneled in through the roof vent.
