Turf-Vu

Pictured here is corn leaves (C-4) showing different nutrient deficiencies. If you know of something like this for turf grasses please point me to it.

Geese fertilized an R&D plot today. The rain will water it in.

It had all the look and feel of a hobby in 2006. Agricultural scouting and significantly improving irrigation guidance. Now I can use help to get out of the hobby shop.

@BertSandell But it got you right.

@TurfVu Yes, when AI is training on internet there is too much bad data.

Something happened between the 9th and the 18th of December. I wish I could see when and how it developed. Even better I wish I saw it when it started so I could get ahead of it. Oh, I forgot. I have a Hawk-Eye™ watching it all day and night.

A dilemma: I asked #Grok, "With canopy temperature from thermal camera how do I calculate Crop Water Stress Index (CWSI)" It provided bad technique based on classic remote sensing rationale. It will not improve #IrrigationGuidance. Do I tell Grok? #HawkEyeSystems

@elonmusk Delema you/anyone else pls advise. I asked Grok "With canopy temperature from thermal camera how do I calculate Crop Water Stress Index (CWSI)" It provides bad technique based on classic remote sensing rationale. It will not improve #irrigation guidance. Do tell Grok?

@elonmusk The sheer energy required to move water across vast distances from the Colorado River to Los Angeles, from Northern California to the Central Valley reveals another hard truth: in the West, water is energy, and energy is money. True worldwide.

@elonmusk Global agriculture uses 70% of freshwater today. Much is wasted because the plants don’t need that much. Hawk-Eye™ Systems can reduce 20 - 40% water and energy wasted in irrigation. #Help me scale the manufacturing of the remote sensing platform to make an impact.

@elonmusk & Xers who think water and energy is important. It's time to act like it is 2026 not 1986. The Hawk-Eye™ System is agriculture's 1st & only continuous plant monitoring tool. Stop irrigation waste by 20-40%. The global addressable market is $40B +. #HELP #Water !

The hot spot on the green lasted about 40 minutes in the morning. Traditional scouting would never have caught it. If a scout had a hand held thermal camera and looked at it at noon, the scout would have missed it. What caused it and what to do about it?

Some snow this morning. Great chance to check that the drain field is working well.

@elonmusk You may have thought the Hawk-Eye™ Remote Sensing System will only guide crop, sport field, and golf course irrigation to reduce water and electricity waste to also improve plant health. Here is where it can make an even bigger contribution husqvarna-water.com/why-your-water….

@USGAGrnSection Measure what you Manage. This is a case of warm season grass in a Maryland fairway. Examining nighttime imagery (every night) in February saw that it would not green-up by late spring into the summer. #HawkEye™ Remote Sensing System.

Golf courses must be managed carefully during winter because they are more vulnerable to damage and have limited ability to recover from wear and tear 👇

@elonmusk If you’re trying to find out if I am a nut case trying to waste your time and if you asked Gronk about the Hawk-Eye™ Remote Sensing System and didn’t get an answer. I asked this morning by adding some websites for context. Still asking for help.

@elonmusk Take a drink of water & think about the water agriculture unintendedly wastes due to inefficiency guiding irrigation to what soil and air says instead of what the plant says. HELP me get Hawk-Eye™ Systems into the hands of growers. PS. Its a good use of Starlink.
