Field Demonstration
New technologies will be demonstrated at two field locations. The locations represent fields with considerable variation in soil conditions, thereby enabling precision farming to be of special relevance at the two sites.
Vindumovergaard
Vindumovergaard is owned by Hans C de Neergaard and located close to the town of Bjerringbro.
- Field of 20 ha
- Primarily JB 5 with considerable variation in soil conditions
- Winter wheat four coming years
- Uses GPS and yield monitor on his combine harvester
- No-tillage agriculture
- University of Aarhus have collected field data

Sigridshøj
The second demonstration area is located near the town of Kalundborg and is owned by Rasmus Eriksen
- A field of 20 ha
- Primarily JB7 with considerable variations in soil conditions
- Winter wheat four coming years
- Uses GPS and yield monitor on his combine harvester

Master data will be published later
Different types of data will be collected from the demonstration fields in the early months of 2016:
- Texture analysis in four different soil layers down to one m depth
- Soil pH, Potassium, phosphorous, magnesium, and total nitrogen
- Mapping of tile drains
- Topography
- Local climate data
- Satellite pictures
- Weed mapping
Planned activities for 2016
- Field trials with graduated fertilizer application (Yara N-Sensor)
- Mapping with drones
- Measuring redox potential with sensors
