Our colleagues at the USDA-NRCS now provide on-line soil survey data that is viewable in a web environment. This tool is a giant leap forward for Precision Ag practitioners, as it provides all the information available for the soils in an "area of interest (AOI)" that you specify. In addition to the soils data, it also calculates the acreage and percent of a field that each soil type represents. more |
The Global Positioning System, or GPS, is a cornerstone of Precision Agriculture. But, have you ever wondered how it really works?

The University of Kentucky's College of Agriculture is pursuing research and extension activities to assess and validate the potential of precision agriculture practices in Kentucky. The intent and purpose of this web site is to make applicable information available to Kentucky producers, land owners and agri-business managers and to provide a forum for exchange of ideas related to the adoption and use of spatial technologies.
