The goal of the Alabama Cooperative Extension Systems Precision Agriculture (PA) Program is to facilitate the adoption of geospatial technologies and site-specific management strategies. The use of these technologies positively impacts agriculture by helping farmers decrease application overlap and target crop inputs to where they are needed. This allows farmers to increase their efficiency in the field, maximize crop yields, and improve environmental stewardship. Adoption of precision agriculture technologies in Alabama has resulted in an approximate annual savings of $10,000,000 in chemical, fertilizer and seed savings. Environmental benefits include an average 10% reduction of applied...
