1. Extending The Concept Of Precision Conservation To Restoration Of Rivers And StreamsComprehensive water quality management in watersheds involves management of upland and riparian environments. Efforts to optimize environmental performance of agriculture through field-scale precision conservation should be complemented with riparian restorations to enhance capacities to assimilate... M.

3. Development of a Small Tracking Device for Cattle Using IoT TechnologyThe US is the largest producer of beef in the world. Last year alone, it produces nearly 19% of the world’s beef. This translate to about almost $90 billion in economic impact in the country. Aside from being a producer, the US also consumed more than 26 billion pounds of beef which have a retail value of the entire beef industry to more than $74B. For this level of production and consumption, each rancher in the US must produce a herd size of at least 100 or more to sustain the current... J.M. Maja, A.K. Blocker, E.G. Stuckey, S.G. Sell, G.

4. Establishment of a Canola Emergence Assessment Methodology Using Image-based Plant Count and Ground Cover AnalysisManual assessment of emergence is a time-consuming practice that must occur within a short time-frame of the emergence stage in canola (Brassica napus). Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) may allow for a more thorough assessment of canola emergence by covering a wider scope of the field and in a more timely manner than in-person evaluations. This research aims to calibrate the relationship between emerging plant population count and the ground cover. The field trial took place at the University... K. Krys, S. Shirtliffe, H. Duddu, T.

5. Is Row-unit Vibration Affected by Planter Speeds and Downforce?Row-unit vibration is an issue created mainly by planter`s opening disks and gauge-wheels contact with the ground. Variability on row-unit vibration could interfere on seed metering and delivery process, affecting crop emergence and final stand. With the amount of embedded technology present on planters, producers are being encouraged to increase planting speeds, which is also one of the main factors for row-unit vibration increasement. In this way, knowing the proper speeds, and using other instruments... L.P. Oliveira, B.V. Ortiz, G.T. Morata, T. Squires, J. Jones |
