Overview

The Precision Farming Guide for Agriculturists is an overview of site-specific farming and its many varied systems and applications. This book discusses in detail: types of positioning systems, from land-based to global positioning systems to geo-stationary satellite systems; yield monitoring systems; mapping, soil sampling, soil testing; and new technologies such as remote sensing, variable rate technology, and geographic information systems. This book also closely studies important considerations that every agriculturist needs to examine, beginning with whether site-specific farming is for you. It then explores system development and integration, economic considerations, and environmental considerations. A complete glossary of precision-farming terms is included, along with an extensive suggested reading list (books, journals, magazine articles, and World Wide Web sites).
