1. Using Crop Budgeting Spreadsheets Can Assist Producers In Evaluating The Cost Effectiveness Of Adoption Of The Various Precision Agriculture TechnologiesProducers asked the question which Precision Agriculture Technologies can be economical in my farming operation? The use of easily modified crop budgets can help the producer evaluate the technologies and how they affect the profitability of one’s agricultural enterprise.... R.N. Klein, R. Wilson |
2. Seeding and Planting Plots for Crop Performance Evaluation Using Gps-rtk Auto SteeringCrop performance evaluation plots are seeded both on and off the University of Nebraska West Central Research and Extension Center. Plots off the Center must match the producer’s rows for pesticide application, cultivation, ditching, irrigation, fertilization and any other operations performed in the fields. With row crops the producer blank-plants the plot area before we can follow up with planting the plots. This means that we have to wait for the producer to plant in the field. Blank-planting... R.N.

3. Through the Grass Ceiling: Using Multiple Data Sources on Intra-Field Variability to Reset Expectations of Pasture Production and Farm ProfitabilityIntra-field variability has received much attention in arable and horticultural contexts. It has resulted in increased profitability as well as reduced environmental footprint. However, in a pastoral context, the value of understanding intra-field variability has not been widely appreciated. In this programme, we used available technologies to develop multiple data layers on multiple fields within a dairy farm. This farm was selected as it was already performing at a high level, with well-developed... W. King, R. Dynes, S. Laurenson, S. Zydenbos, R. Macauliffe, A. Taylor, M. Manning, A. Roberts, M. White |
