Sielinko Land Facility
Wielkopolska Agricultural Advisory Center in Poznań (WODR)
Country
Poland

72 ha of fields with various soil grades: III (25 ha), IV (37 ha), V (8 ha), and VI (2 ha). The fields can be used as a place for preparation for the test environment and in case of execution of physical testing, including establishing a particular plantation; tests on permanent green areas/ground paved with paving stones/sloped area/flat area; sowing with GPS; and collection of additional data from the drone—RGB, NDVI, thermo, crop photos, weather, etc.
Facility
WODR Bridge Sprinkler
Wielkopolska Agricultural Advisory Center in Poznań (WODR)
Country
Poland

Bridge sprinkler with a working width of 250 m equipped with a VRI system, e.g., a system of variable irrigation doses. Independent control of each of the 63 sprinklers. The sprinkler can irrigate an area of ​​up to 20 hectares at once. The water dose is controlled manually, but it is possible to retrofit it with an automatic system based on, e.g., satellite data or a weather station system. Systems used: GPS+RTK, VRI.​ Specification: width 250 m; can irrigate an area of ​​up to 20 hectares at once; possibility of irrigating only selected sectors, e.g., out of all 63 sprinklers, only a part can work at the same time, e.g., half of them, to compare the effect with and without irrigation. It is used for:​ - Cooperation with the soil moisture monitoring service through the possibility of increasing soil moisture​ - Machine tests in any soil moisture conditions​ - Machine tests in controlled rain conditions​ - Tests of the correctness of shape files with irrigation application maps in field conditions, i.e., tests of correctness and compatibility with a sprinkler equipped with the VRA system​

Derval
Chambre d'Agriculture des Pays de Loire (CAPDL)
Country
France

At Derval, the herd comprises 85 Prim'Holsteins and 75 heifers, with an annual production of 700,000 litres of milk. Derval is a member of the Innovation Research and Development team of the Pays de la Loire Chamber of Agriculture, working with Idele (French Livestock Institute) and the F@rmXP network. As a Digiferme®, new technologies are a key area of interest for the Derval farm. Their use should help to improve the farmer's day-to-day life and guarantee optimised management of the dairy farm. Some examples tested on the farm: - Milk quality and energy consumption: Testing of a "new generation" low-energy consumption and connected milk cooling tank, as part of a project to enhance the value of the farm's energy data. - Monitoring the operating costs of technologies used on the farm: Detecting malfunctions in milking robots and optimising them by monitoring connected water and electricity meters. - Pasture monitoring and management: Drones and virtual fencing are examples of technologies evaluated. - Milk analysis laboratory associated with a milking robot. - Animal behaviour analysis: collars with integrated accelerometers, cameras for viewing the entire dairy cow barn, and developing computer vision algorithms. - Testing of robots on field crops.
