1. Adoption and Non-Adoption of Precision Farming Technologies by Cotton FarmersWe used the 2009 Southern Cotton Precision Farming Survey data collected from farmers in twelve U.S. states (Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia) to identify reasons on why some adopt and others do not adopt precision farming techniques. Those farmers who provided the cost as the reason for non-adoption are farmers characterized by lower education... A.K. Mishra, M. Pandit, K.P. Paudel, E. Segarra |
2. Proximal Sensing Tools to Estimate Pasture Quality Parameters.To date systems for estimating pasture quality have relied on destructive sampling with measurement completed in a laboratory which was very time consuming and expensive. Results were often not received until after the pasture was grazed which defeated the point of the measurement, as farmers required the information to make decisions about grazing strategies to effectively...

3. Extension Program Prioritization Guides Web-mapping Application Delivery to RanchersCooperative Extension has a long history of helping agricultural producers address their current needs and emerging public issues; often through training in the use of technologies that are not yet widely adopted. The quality of geospatial data and tools to visualize and analyze that data continues to improve. However, barriers exist to rancher adoption of geospatial decision support tools. These barriers can include costs, ease of use, and privacy concerns. The sustainability of beef cattle... W. Boyer |
4. Drone Use Extension and Demonstrations Support Management of Riparian Areas, Grazing Land, and Water QualityAgricultural and natural resource managers have explored a variety of ways in which drones might be used to aid in decision-making. One of the most useful ways may be the production of orthorectified aerial photography which can have very high spatial and temporal resolution. Such photography offers new opportunities for visualizing and measuring features on the landscape. Not just measuring the two-dimensional characteristics of landscape features, but also measuring three-dimensional characteristics.... W. Boyer |
