1. Recision Management For Enhancing Farmer Net Returns With The Conservation Reserve Program

Yield maps have successfully been combined with economic principles in establishing precision guided recommendations for enrollment in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). This can and has resulted in greater net returns for farmers than not enrolling in CRP or enrolling all eligible land in CRP without the consideration of foregone economic opportunities (Stull et al. 2004). This study expands these concepts by recognizing the adaptive behavior of the farmer and opportunities resulting from... C. Dillon, J. Shockley

2. Thermal Characterization and Spatial Analysis of Water Stress in Cotton (Gossypium Hirsutum L.) and Phytochemical Composition Related to Water Stress in Soybean (Glycine Max)

Studies were designed to explore spatial relationships of water and/or heat stress in cotton and soybeans and to assess factors that may influence yield potential. Investigations focused on detecting the onset of water/heat stress in row crops using thermal and multispectral imagery with ancillary physicochemical data such as soil moisture status and photosynthetic pigment concentrations. One cotton field with gradations in soil texture showed distinct patterns in thermal imagery, matching patterns... S.J. Thomson, S.L. Defauw, P.J. English, J.E. Hanks, D.K. Fisher, P.N. Foster, P.V.

3. An Economic Feasibility Assessment for Adoption of Autonomous Field Machinery in Row Crop Production

A multi-faceted whole farm planning model was developed to compare conventional and autonomous machinery for grain crop production.  Results suggested that autonomous machinery could be an economically viable alternative to conventional manned machinery if the establishment of intelligent controls was cost effective.  An increase in net returns of 22% over operating with conventional machinery was found.  This study also identified the break-even investment price for intelligent...
