Precision Farming

A management strategy that employs detailed, site-specific information to precisely manage production inputs.  This concept is sometimes called Precision Agriculture, Prescription Farming, or Site-specific Management. The idea is to know the soil and crop characteristics unique to each part of the field, and to optimize the production inputs within small portions of the field. The philosophy behind precision agriculture is that production inputs (seed, fertilizer, chemicals, etc.) should be applied only as needed and where needed for the most economic production.  This system requires the utilization of sophisticated technology including personal computers, telecommunications, global positioning systems (GPS), geographic information systems (GIS), variable rate controllers, and infield and remote sensing. Although precision agriculture promises reduced use of chemical inputs, there are several factors that make it controversial in the sustainable agriculture community, including the requirements of large capital outlay and advanced technical expertise.
