Getting global usage

Article Abstract:

The use of global positioning systems can help crop growers implement a more efficient and profitable site-specific farming program. Combining GPS with the use of a universal field identification system and a geographic information software will allow farmers to create hybrid seed maps for their service area that can help them access hybrid selection. In addition, GPS can be an aid in crop scouting, ground truthing and vereification of crop damage.

NEW Cooperative: a basic approach

Article Abstract:

NEW Cooperative Inc of Fort Dodge, IA, has implemented a site-specific program that combines the basics of agronomy with the latest available technology.

NEW Cooperative, one of the recipients of the SiteLiner Dealership Award for 2000, began adopting precision-farming techcniques in 1994 and was able to develop its AgPlan system in 1999.
