SUSTAINABILITY AND PRODUCTIVITY SIDE-BY-SIDE CASE IH TECHNOLOGIES TACKLE THE TASK Farming faces a twin-headed challenge: to produce more food to feed a growing population, and to do so in a sustainable way that conserves resources and preserves our environment. Case IH developments are already helping meet those demands – and there are more to come.

Productive farming depends on the efficient use of precious resources - basic elements such as healthy soils, water and air, and manufactured inputs, such as fertilisers, crop protection products and fuel, created from finite raw products. This is why productivity and sustainability are not incompatible, and why Case IH solutions for productive farming are also those which are already having a positive impact on the sustainability of agriculture. Today, these technologies are becoming ever more closely integrated, for the benefit both of farmers and of the environment in which they - and...

INNOVATORS IN TRACK SYSTEMS Taking our innovative approach to track technology as an example, in 1996 we were the first to develop an articulated tracked tractor, the Quadtrac, that ensures maximum pulling power per litre of fuel, minimum compacted soil area and, via pivot steering, minimal soil disturbance when turning at row ends and headlands, eliminating the scuffing caused by differential steering with twin-tracked tractors. It also means reductions in compaction, water run-off, and requirement for additional fuel and wearing metal to rectify soil damage. With the Magnum Rowtrac rear...

SUSTAINABILITY IT’S PART OF EVERYTHING WE DO REDUCE THE CONSUMPTION OF RESOURCES BY MOVING FROM FOSSIL FUELS TO A RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEM REDUCE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND OPTIMIZE ENERGY CONSUMPTION IN ALL COMPANY PROCESSES PARALLEL PASSES WITH MINIMAL OVERLAP Steering and guidance technology has obviously also had a huge impact on sustainable productivity. AccuGuide auto-steering, part of our suite of Advanced Farming System (AFS) technologies, minimises fuel and crop input use by guaranteeing parallel passes with minimal overlap down to as little as 2.5cm when used with RTK correction, and...

TECHNOLOGY HELPS SUSTAIN ZIMBABWEAN SOILS For one Zimbabwe farming operation, maximising the productivity of its land goes hand-in-hand with protecting and preserving its soils. Case IH machines and precision farming equipment are key tools in meeting these twin targets. hort seasons make timely field operations critical on Brink Bosman’s farm in central northern Zimbabwe. That’s addressed not only through the use of high-output Case IH tractors and equipment, but also by a suite of Case IH precision farming technologieshe rest of the population – are a part. Around 150km north-west of the...

other planting process aspects, while the liquid and seed feeds can be shut off to individual rows. And our Patriot 3230 self-propelled sprayers have AIM Command Flex technology for rate and individual nozzle control.” Brink switched brand in 1994, when the make he had been using couldn’t meet his next order requirements, and his first purchase was three Magnum 7220s. LISTENING AND SUPPORTING “Five years later I bought my first AxialFlow combine, a 2388, and in 1999 added a Steiger 9350 RowCrop to our operation. Due to farmland being nationalised, I bought no more equipment until 2012, by...

SPECIAL REPORT DRONES BRING SMART FARMING TECHNOLOGY TO SPANISH FARMERS In north-eastern Spain, farmer Ramon Acfn, owner of Finca Bizcarra at Huesca, has become one of the country's leading soil mapping providers in agriculture. The data he collects from the soil, the air and satellites now helps to provide his own and other progressive farms with smart services, allowing them to operate more efficiently, more productively and more profitably. Ramon is the region's largest farmer, with 310 hectares of irrigated land producing corn, alfalfa, peas, wheat and barley. Three years ago, he was...

We even have an app for mobile devices that provides this information. We carry out 200 drone flights per year and can cover up to 200 hectares per day. Depending on the information required they carry RTK, multi-spectral...
