Progress in your use of precision tools will yield more productivity and bottom-line results. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself with more questions as you move forward. More information about your fields, crops and yields will bring more choices, not fewer. It’s one decision to use a single-rate fertilizer application for a 320-acre field. More decisions come at you as you elect to break a field into different management zones.

Here we define you as an Intermediate user if:

• You are familiar with GPS systems, but are not using them to full capacity.
• Your recorded electronic field boundaries and have made efforts to collect basic field data (soil sampling/characteristics, potassium and phosphorus testing, georeferenced yield data).
• You want information to help you decide if a more comprehensive, cohesive precision program could benefit your operation.
