What is Precision Agriculture?
Precision farming works by layering in precise information from multiple sources so you know exactly what to do for any given spot in the field and can take action.
- How: Telematics enable you to get data on and off the machine
- Where: GPS provides placement and position of the machines
- When: Weather information helps you decide when to take action
- What: Data from last year’s harvest, current soil maps and more provide additional details
Prescription Maps: Based on all the “symptoms” above you get a prescription for your field.
Action: By leveraging guidance and GPS, you can be very specific with your applications. Then monitor your results all the way through grain storage, repeating the process next season.
