Site-Specific Tools for Agricultural Spatial Decision Support
Paul HeyDavid Waits
Site-specific precision farming requires a spatial data management system that gives the user powerful decision making tools-a spatial decision support system (SDSS). The SDSS must include tools for seamless storage, retrieval, manipulation, and analysis of geographically referenced agricultural data. These "site-specific tools" are needed to systematically integrate the various components of precision farming technologies, from farm field to SDSS, back to farm field. SSToolbox, an agricultural SDSS developed by SST Development Group, provides agricultural producers, farm input suppliers, agronomists, and crop consultants the necessary spatial and nonspatial data handling tools needed to turn data into information and perform decision making at the farm level. This presentation investigates the various functions SSToolbox provides as an agricultural SDSS.
