Brief Project Summary:

Interest and adoption of real time kinematic (RTK) technology by Alabama growers has rapidly increased over the past several years. RTK allow producers to return to the exact same location over time, providing benefits in production efficiency and yield, time management, and environmental quality. Traditionally, base stations have been required for grower to implement RTK-level accuracy for auto-steer systems in their farming operations. Available options for this technology include fee-based RTK networks and continuous operating reference stations.

Final Project Results

The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
