Track: Agriculture
Authors: gregory gonzalez

The world of Agriculture is evolving, the use of new GPS/Cellular and location based technologies are allowing for increased precision monitoring of equipment, crops, material applications, and everyday operational events. Laptops', PDA's, Tablets, and Smartphone's are now finding their way into the fields. This presentation will focus on the development and application of ESRI software in regards to implementing a Precision Ag GIS Management Program within your operations. Where do you start? How do you implement your ESRI software package? What tools do ESRI provide that can help me? Within this presentation I will give examples of how we use all levels of the ESRI products, geodatabase, analysis, web based mapping, and mobile application in order to aide in overall Precision Ag Management principles.
