1. John Deere FarmSight™Agriculture has had several revolutions in the past century, and it currently faces what may be its greatest challenge to date – population growth and the increased need for food, fiber, and fuel in the future. To meet this challenge the agricultural industry will have to drive efficiencies to a level never seen before, within a context of several macro trends (e.g., farm sizes increasing, environmental sustainability requirements evolving). John Deere FarmSightTM... M. Stelford |

3. High Capacity System for Precision Agriculture Reconnaissance and IntelligenceIcaros-Demeter has developed a lightweight, compact remote sensing system with a potential for producing 100,000 acre (400km-2) thematic maps per day with high resolution digital RGB/CIR CMOS sensors. The Icaros- Demeter system enables fast, precise location of multiple area and spots types. The system’s ability for producing high precision Digital Surface Models (DSM) over vast areas, offers a direct method for computing agricultural biomass via volume calculations, instead of common indirect...

4. Use of Precision Technologies to Conduct Successful Within-field, On-farm TrialsPerforming randomized replicated trials in row crop field environments has the potential to increase crop production in environmentally sustainable ways. Successful implementation requires an understanding of implement capabilities and sources of potential systematic error, including operator error. Equipment capabilities can be thought of as a series of several critical “links in a chain,” each with implications that propagate downstream. We will... M. Stelford, A. Krmenec |
5. Assess the Feasibility of Remote Sensing Vegetation Index for In-season N Status Evaluation with Nitrogen Measurement from Commercial FieldNitrogen (N) fertilization plays a crucial role in corn production in the United States. Corn, being a major commodity crop, relies heavily on N fertilization throughout its growth cycle to achieve optimal yields and maintain profitability. During this period of rapid N uptake, it's imperative for farmers to supply sufficient N at the right time to support proper crop development. However, the use of N fertilizer comes with environmental considerations as it can be susceptible to loss through... A. Nguyen, A. Sharma, R. Prasad |
6. Long-range Bluetooth Smart Stakes and High-gain Receivers for High-density Sensing in Precision AgricultureTo achieve the goals of precision agriculture, accurate spatial-temporal soil information is needed, especially because soil properties can change within and between growing seasons. While remote sensing can provide high coverage, some soil properties must be measured in situ. Current existing industry solutions are too expensive per unit to deploy in sufficiently high density for dynamic management zones, creating a need for low-cost sensor networks.... S. Craven, C.
