Helm do Brasil launches SkyFLD, a new precision agriculture tool aimed especially at medium and small rural producers, family businesses and consultants across the country. The presentation of the product will take place during the days of the Show Rural fair, an event that will take place until February 8th in Cascavel, Paraná (PR).

"Many producers are still apprehensive about precision agriculture, especially small and medium-sized ones", explains Sebastian Lueth, Commercial Director at Helm do Brasil. "Many think that this type of technology is only accessible to the big ones, which is not true. With SkyFLD, we are going to democratize this service", he adds.

SkyFLD is capable of generating a soil variability map to assist the farmer in the decision-making process. This way, he will have accurate information about his crop, being able to improve the use of inputs and seeds, monitoring the evolution of the crop.

Through the platform, the producer will be able to export reports and maps that can be read by compatible agricultural machines, and which automatically calculate the amount of fertilizers and seeds to be used, thus generating resource optimization for the producer.

Furthermore, SkyFLD is a simple and intuitive platform that can be used by anyone, regardless of the level of digitalization they have access to.

Helm do Brasil's entry into precision agriculture is part of the company's plans to get increasingly closer to rural producers, offering alternatives and products that contribute to the development of agriculture in Brazil.
