Stories that shape the future of agriculture

Salto, Oriental Republic of Uruguay

As a technical crop advisor for over 20 years and being part of a company that manages more than 15,000 hectares, I have always sought to link productivity with efficiency in resource use.

I learned that all decisions and actions to improve a crop must be based on a correct diagnosis; otherwise, the results are slow and ineffective. Traditionally, errors were evaluated from one harvest to another, in a kind of “autopsy,” which made learning slow and incompatible with current times.

For years I looked for tools that would allow me to evaluate the fields quickly and objectively. First, walking hectares under extreme temperatures. Then, with flights in small planes and subjective photographs. Later, drones improved the quality of daily visits, but generated too much data without the possibility of objective analysis.

By exploring satellite imaging platforms, NDVI was an advance, but the data remained difficult to interpret. It was then that I found a true leap: specific indicators for my crops, weekly repetition, and models that compare each satellite step with real reference in the field. Data without context is not information.

Working with Nax Solutions allowed me to understand the importance of having a technology partner who understands what we need to evaluate in each crop, providing constant feedback and developing new tools to maximize the potential of the technology.

This is how we face the challenges of the present: technology alone is not enough; it requires interpretation, calibration, and a real partner to make it effective. Nax completes that circle.
