Synopsis
Precision agriculture (PA) and its suite of information technologies-such as soil andyield mapping using a global positioning system (GPS), GPS tractor guidance systems,and variable-rate input application-allow farm operators to fine-tune their productionpractices. Access to detailed, within-field information can decrease input costs andincrease yields. USDA's Agricultural Resource Management Survey shows that these PAtechnologies were used on roughly 30 to 50 percent of U.S. corn and soybean acres in2010-12. Previous studies suggest that use of PA is associated with higher profits undercertain conditions, but aggregate estimates of these gains have not been available. In thisreport, a treatment-effects model is developed to estimate factors associated with PAtechnology adoption rates and the impacts of adoption on profits. Labor and machineryused in production and certain farm characteristics, like farm size, are associated withadoption as well as with two profit measures, net returns and operating profits. Theimpact of these PA technologies on profits for U.S. corn producers is positive, but small.Keywords: Crop production information technologies, precision agriculture, variableratetechnology, soil tests, global positioning system maps, guidance systems., Precision agriculture (PA) and its suite of information technologies-such as soil and yield mapping using a global positioning system (GPS), GPS tractor guidance systems, and variable-rate input application-allow farm operators to fine-tune their production practices.

    Reliable SELLERS like this one are the reason why I’ve started using and following these professionals on eBay and have left the terrible Amazon shipped products. Absolutely 100% perfect transaction. Item arrived earlier than expected, well packaged and in absolutely MINT appearance and condition!!! Amazon would learn a thing or two when it comes to businesses like this where the price is right and the item actually arrives as described and in perfect collector's quality. A+!!!
