Brief Project Summary:

The objectives of this project are to evaluate satellite-based automated guidance control for planting, tillage, and spraying in irregular-shaped soybean fields having partial sky blockages. A second objective is to compare the new Tennessee Department of Transportation statewide network with competing proprietary ag dealer networks as a source of low-cost, high precision corrections.
