8. Technologies Used-Experiences
• GPS Soil sampling-began 2001-GPS application of lime and fertilizer
• Auto Guidance-Auto steer
• Yield Mapping harvest data
• Field documentation-Land.db
• GPS Map based planting prescriptions
• GPS section controls on planters and sprayers
• Remote Equipment monitoring
9. Challenges with Technologies
• Learning Curve-time vs reward
• How do we use all of this data
• Are we data collectors or real users of this information
10. Lessons learned and benefits of Ag Technology
• Costs savings with GPS applications of lime and fertilizers-applying where
needed and amount needed
• Seed costs savings with prescription seed plantings
• Less operator fatigue with auto steer
• Auto steer allows operator to be more attentive to operation of equipment
• Section controls on planters and sprayers allows proper placement of seed
and chemicals…less overlap
• Land.db…numerous reports, field records, Global GAP
