1. Contour Planting: A Strategy To Reduce Soil Erosion On Steep Slopes Practices that combine GPS-based guidance for terrain contouring and tillage for runoff detention have potential to increase water infiltration and reduce runoff. The objective of this study was to investigate contour planting as a means to reduce soil erosion on steep slopes of the Columbia Plateau dryland wheat region. An exploratory field study was conducted on a Ritzville... D.S. Long, S.B. Wuest, J.D. Williams, M.J. Bailey, Download paper
2. Economic Potential Of Monitoring Protein Content At Harvest And Blending Wheat Grain Precision agriculture has been primarily focused on the management of inputs but recently developed technologies that monitor grain quality at harvest create the opportunity to manage outputs spatially. Provided specific product qualities achieve higher prices, monitoring, separation and blending may be economically justified. This paper analyzes the potential economic effects of blending different grain qualities at the farm level. We estimated sub-field specific... A. Meyer-aurich, M. Gandorfer, A. Weersink, P.

3. Flat Payoff Functions and Site-Specific Crop Management Within the neighbourhood of any economically “optimal” management system, there is a set of alternative systems that are only slightly less attractive than the optimum. Often this set is large; in other words, the payoff function is flat within the vicinity of the optimum. This has major implications for the economics of variable-rate site-specific crop management. The flatter the payoff function, the lower the benefits of precision in the adjustment of input rates spatially within... D. Pannell, A. Weersink, M. Gandorfer Download paper
