Flag The Technology Programs And How They Work

By Martha Smith


Agricultural tech is always in the process of being improved on, and the modern farm can have lots of technologically advanced processes, systems and materials in use. Some of the things that these places use can range from the simple to the complex. All will have their specific uses, and when taken together, form an overall complex that needs good management.

For farmers today, multicrop planting is often key to a successful spread, along with some kind of livestock breeding. Flag the technology enables farmers to identify the pesticide needs of specific sections of their fields. This helps in being able to use the correct kind of chemicals on any part of the farm that need them.

Many pesticides are now friendlier, using less or not toxic elements, something pesticide companies were criticized for. But using them is also tagged for certain species, growth and ground factors during the planting and field maintenance. Grains have varying needs for chemicals, for instance, from other crops like flowers and vegetables.

Flagging the fields is a simple concept, and this concern is something highly convenient for those farming systems using the stacked tech process. This is for certain items needed by each field that is being processed. It is often connected to chemical use, for some brands are unique, especially for some field programs that are scheduled with their own chemical distribution.

A few examples of the most common tech now in use include roundup ready cropping, Clearfield tech or Liberty Link tech. The first, for instance, are genetically engineered plants that resist a strong chemical ingredient for one commonly used pesticide. Crops of this kind include corn and cotton, sugar beets and canola, soybeans and alfalfa.

Clearfield is a system that seeks to control the growth of the tougher and residual grasses on the fields. Liberty Link uses chemicals that eliminate the toughest weeds that can muscle out the more delicate crop species. These tech systems are important to all large farms, or combine farming, where cash crops are grown for volume market demands.

Flags are used to distinguish them, like bright green for Liberty Link, white for Roundup ready systems, and bright yellow for Clearfield cropping. Other popular or preferred colors in use are red, which is for conventional cropping involving no herbicides, or checkered black and white. The preferred size is for a 12 inch by 18 inch triangle supported by fiberglass poles.

The colors easily identify a field for a crop duster plane, or for large chemical distribution land machines. If these flags are up, there will be no mistakes made in distributing different kinds of chemicals that might become dangerous when combined. Keeping them separate and working in different sections spells good management and safety.

The systematized use of flags is a standard for most farms operating in the nation. The spell efficiency for all farming operations, because the many planted acres are hard to distinguish when different plant species are used. The flags minimize the hassle of identifying fields whenever chemical distribution is needed and makes the processes that much more workable for all kinds of farming needs.
