Today, agriculture requires improved productivity and efficiency. Cutting costs, saving time and ensuring the entire agricultural project is more efficient and accountable, are essential to competing in domestic and global markets.
Positioning, wireless, and information technologies are changing farmers' relationship with the land, bringing them quite literally down to earth. Farmers can now manage every-aspect of agricultural operations, in order to improve overall productivity and efficiency from planting to harvesting and land leveling- and literally work their land by the square foot instead of the square mile. |

• GPS farming systems provide
precise guidance for field
operations, or collections of
map data on tillage,
applications, pllanting, weeds,
insect and disease
infestations, cultivation and
irrigation.
• Machine Control systems
automate
equipment to save time and
costs associated with field
operations.
• Laser-based tools provide
productivity enhancements
such as land leveling and
subsurface drainage.

Field data can be downloaded to office systems to analyze management practices and determine optimal strategies for infield operation might include layers on field topography, soil types, surface drainage, subsurface drainage, soil testing results, rainfall, irrigation, chemical application rates, and crop yield. Once this information is gathered, one can analyze it to understand relationships between the different elements that affect crop production in a specific location. |
