Track: Agriculture
Authors: gregory gonzalez

Schied Vineyards (Monterey County, CA) has been working extensively through the last 6 years in development and application of Geographic Information in order to help manage over 4200 acres of premium wine grapes. This presentation explores conceptually how production agriculture can benefit from the application of a Operations GIS in order to gain 'Geographic Efficiency' that leads to increased inter-operational clarity, production, and overall end farming results.
