Lewis Stearns with progressive Crop Solutions doesn't need his work to be sexy- he needs it to to work. And his work is putting your data to work for you. We are all guilty of not managing our farm data like we should, and Lewis and his team work with farms to get them where they need to eb, and provide a stand-alone report card on how your business and farm is doing, without telling you how to farm. Today Shay and Lewis discuss some key objectives for the year ahead, and address common questions and challenges faced in farm data.

2024 mistakes to avoid:

1. Mislabeling Products- clean data in, clean data out

2. Calibrations- recalibrate con every 5% moisture and between hybrids

3. Multiple Machine calibrations and data management post or mid-harvest

4. Improper Storage of historical information

We need to add a new "basic" level of farm management to the playbook- fertility, pH, drainage, timeliness, and now data management.
