"A Common Sense Approach To Help Raise Crop Returns By Lowering Crop Input Costs"

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a new technology tool used in crop management to improve productivity and efficiency in farm-making decisions. Under proper management, GPS can be employed to improve crop health and provide an economic savings to growers.

Using the Global Position System (GPS), a GPS receiver is
used to determine and record the exact location site of
each farm unit, which is displayed on the units moving
electronic map.

By determining exact locations, the farm
operator can then track application sites and
monitor nutrient rates of each farm unit in
accordance with sound agricultural practices
under the Nutrient Management Guidelines and
assist the grower in preparing a more precise and accurate
Nutrient Management Plan.
