Ten tons extra within five years should be possible with precision technology and cultivation optimisation

For crop farmers who wish to employ precision farming techniques optimally and in order to achieve higher potato yields, Van Iperen BV in Westmaas has developed the TT concept. One of the crop farms that is participating in this specialist crop advice concept for precision farming is Thes Agro, an agricultural holding in Burgh-Haamstede. They hope to generate considerably higher potato yields in their very colourful fields. ‘We’re convinced that we can realise those extra 10 tons per hectare within five years’, according to the farm workers and crop advisors.
