Global Positioning System (GPS) based guidance and automated steering systems have driven technology adoption due to the many real benefits and demonstrated payback for the investment. As this adoption grows, new farming practices are being discovered. In addition, traditional sitespecific precision agricultural tasks are being considered by farmers because the incremental cost for them to test more precision tasks is low after they have invested in GPS guidance or steering systems. This paper explores these trends in the industry.
