Pest management is a challenge that every farmer faces, and integrating different strategies to mitigate the damage caused by pests is the best practice to be done. To adopt integrated pest management (IPM) is important to understand what is happening in the entire field. The use of remote sensing and digital technologies can help producers to have an overview of the field and help in their decision make. In this episode, FarmBits hosts Natasha Umezu and Katie Bathke interviewed Dr. Fernando Iost Filho, postdoctoral in Entomology at the University of Sao Paulo. Check out this episode to learn more about his research and knowledge about remote sensing in integrated pest management.

Knowing where your cattle are exactly can be one of the most time-consuming tasks that a rancher or cattleman is faced with. With the technology that 701x is bringing to the industry, ranchers have given their cattle a cell phone in the sense of knowing their location at all times. The autonomous rancher app sends warning alerts to the cattle owner or other workers on the ranch when an issue arises such a low movement, high movement, and other alerts enabled in the platform. FarmBits hosts, Taylor Cross and Emily Hanson, sat down with Max Cossette, VP of Business Development at 701x and learned more about this innovating technology to improve the animal industry. For all you cattle people out there, this one is for you!
