Precision Agriculture

Who remembers Grandpa’s farm where you sat on an open platform tractor, plowed the fields each spring and prayed for rain on Saturday night? Something akin to Grant Wood’s American Gothic painting. Today’s farm and farmer bear little resemblance to this image, and we are here to bring you up to date. A brief history of where we were in the 1950’s and 1960’s will serve as a foundation for introducing today’s notill farming practices. Today’s technologies, both equipment and crops, as well as current farm demographics and economics will be explored.
