Subject. The article investigates strategic development of grain production, which, in the future, will increasingly rely on elements of precision agriculture. Their use enables to significantly increase the yield of grain crops due to systematic implementation of specialized digital technologies. The latter, under scarce resources, is a determinant in the long-term development of the grain industry. Objectives. The study aims to describe precision agriculture in the regional system of strategic development of grain production. Methods. I performed a comprehensive assessment of effectiveness of precision farming elements introduction by such indicators as the specific weight of the area of grain fields, the specific weight of synchronized agricultural machinery and other precision farming elements in a single digital space, and the share of covering the need for agricultural unmanned aerial vehicles and crop sensing systems. The Ministry of Agriculture and Food Resources of the Nizhny Novgorod Oblast data on the number of used precision farming elements served as the analytical base of the study. Results. In the Buturlinsky and Dalnekonstantinovsky municipal districts, the introduction of precision farming elements is at an average systemic level, in Arzamas urban district and Bolshemurashkinsky municipal district – at a low systemic level, and in the rest, it is unsystematical. I offered and tested indicators of comprehensive assessment of effectiveness of precision farming elements introduction. Their analysis helped form a rating of the introduction of precision farming elements in the Nizhny Novgorod Oblast. Conclusions. Each farm should determine its own level of use of precision farming elements to generate a strategy for introduction of other elements of technology to maximize economic efficiency, including synergistic effect.

Subject. The article discusses Russia’s food security, problems of introducing modern models of agricultural machinery, development of precision farming. Objectives. The aim is to determine the degree of the impact of digitalization of grain production on its economic efficiency, develop an algorithm to assess the impact of precision farming on the yield of grain crops. Methods. The study employs the modified Cobb–Douglas production function, supplemented by the "specific weight of crops cultivated by using elements of precision farming" variable. Results. The evaluation of the production function parameters established that an increase in the share of crops treated by using elements of precision farming by 1% in agricultural organizations of the Nizhny Novgorod Oblast contributes to an increase in the yield of grain crops by more than two hundred kilograms per hectare on average, and the average yield by 13.7% is formed due to the effect of the use of precision farming technologies. Conclusions. The developed methodological algorithm for assessing the digital transformation of grain production is important for strategic development of the agricultural industry as a whole.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
