1. Networking Advances Emerging Agricultural TechnologiesInnovative Nebraska farmers and agribusinesses partnered with University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) extension in 2001 to form the Nebraska Agricultural Technologies Association (NeATA). UNL Extension faculty and NeATA members have collaborated for nearly a decade to further agriculturists' understanding and adoption of emerging agricultural technologies via machinery/technology field days, hands-on GIS/GPS computer workshops, aerial imagery experiential learning,...

2. Evaluating low-cost Lidar and Active Optical Sensors for pasture and forage biomass assessmentAccurate and reliable assessment of pasture or forage biomass remains one of the key challenges for grazing industries. Livestock managers require accurate estimates of the grassland biomass available over their farm to enable optimal stocking rate decisions. This paper reports on our investigations into the potential application of affordable Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) systems and Active Optical (reflectance) Sensors (AOS) to estimate pasture biomass. We evaluated the calibration accuracy... M. Trotter, K. Andersson, M. Welch, M. Chau, L. Frizzel, D. Schneider |
