1. Extension: Precision Ariculture On The InternetThis session will include an overall description of the new eXtension precision agriculture Web site. eXtension is an interactive learning environment delivering the best, most researched knowledge from land-grant university across America. Session participants will learn about the Website, and how to participate in the continued site development. The precision agriculture eXtension Web site is a virtual platform for engage... J.

2. Not Possible In Real Life: Precision Agriculture’s Future In 3D Virtual WorldsImmersive 3D virtual worlds may be several years away from mainstream adoption, but thousands of scientists, educators, and visionary thinkers are already using these environments to network with colleagues, conduct research, create engaging simulations, and develop instructional models that can reach global audiences. Virtual reality offers the potential to create dynamic content that is either not possible to build in real life, or prohibitively expensive. Travel costs can be reduced by bri... L. Phillips |
3. The Scholarship Of eXtensioneXtension (www.extension.org) is an interactive on-line learning environment delivering "best of the best," researched-based knowledge from the top minds across the land-grant university system. It is a space where university content providers can collaborate to gather and produce new educational and information resources on wide-ranging topics while continually interacting with their customers to help solve real-life problems in real time. The works of ... M. Lambur |
4. We Want You: Contributing Your Expertise To A Community Of Practice (COP)eXtension Communities of Practice (CoP’s) are online collaborative networks of subject matter experts. Community of Practice as a method are not new, almost everyone has come across one by now, but you may not have realized what you were looking at was a collaborative effort. CoP’s exist on sites like Consumer Reports, in CNET, and many other places where groups of experts work to create the content that populates a website. Communities are self-... A. Hays |
5. Economics of Gps-enabled Navigation TechnologiesTo address the economic feasibility of global positioning system (GPS) enabled navigation technologies including automated guidance and lightbar, a linear programming model was formulated using data from Midwestern U.S. Corn Belt farms. Five scenarios were compared: (i) a baseline scenario with foam, disk or other visual marker reference, (ii) lightbar navigation with basic GPS availability (+/-3 dm accuracy), (iii) lightbar with satellite subscription correction GPS (+/-1 dm), (iv) automated...
