CO-OP® AGZONE™ continues to revolutionize traditional practices through a forward-thinking suite of digital solutions. Designed to empower Western Canadian producers at every stage of their operations, the AgZone toolset delivers value from the field to the yard and beyond.
Data-Driven Decisions with AgZone FIELD
AgZone FIELD, the pioneer product launched under the Co-op AgZone umbrella, is a comprehensive agronomy tool designed to simplify data-driven decisions for growers. By consolidating critical information, such as crop plans, planting and yield records, remote imagery and soil data, AgZone FIELD creates a centralized hub for efficient data management.
Some of the key benefits of incorporating AgZone FIELD in a growing operation include:
-
Access to real-time data
AgZone FIELD simplifies data collection by facilitating a centralized smart hub. Growers and Co-op Grow Team members can retrieve the necessary information at a convenient time when addressing field-specific issues, evaluating crop and soil health, or planning next year’s crops.
-
Advanced analytics and collaboration
AgZone FIELD empowers users to analyze data, examine yields, calculate returns and make adjustments for the season ahead, fostering more precise and profitable farming practices. As this data is available to all authorized farm operation contributors, it is easier for growers to receive timely advice and for Co-op agronomists to make informed recommendations.
-
Interplatform wireless data integration
AgZone FIELD is tailored to centralize and accommodate external data that farmers collect using other tools. The platform seamlessly integrates with various proprietary brands, effortlessly migrating seeding, spraying, harvesting and other data necessary for creating a complete picture of ongoing, past and future operations.
AgZone BINLogic Grain Bin Monitoring
BINLOGIC™ is the first tool introduced under the AgZone YARD pillar. BINLogic is a remote solution for monitoring temperature and moisture inside grain bins. The technology, now available at local Co-ops, synchronizes with a mobile or web application, allowing growers to access consistent data on grain quality and make prompt, informed decisions.
BINLogic provides real-time readings simultaneously on multiple data points, eliminating the need for additional devices in the bin. The reading devices come in three configurations — handheld, wireless or a combination of both — suitable for any budget. The devices connect to a unified BINLogic account, offering a robust overview of the entire grain operation.
While FIELD and BINLogic don’t directly integrate yet, growers and their advisors can benefit from using the tools concurrently. “FIELD, in consultation with a local Co-op agronomist, will maximize field operations, and utilizing the BINLogic system will ensure a quality product is delivered to the local elevator. Post-harvest, the BINLogic system will protect your valuable crop production investments,” said Adam Newstead, Manager of Digital Ag Solutions at Federated Co-operatives Limited.
