    Precision Farming Tools. Yield Monitor
    Grisso, Robert D.; Alley, Marcus M.; McClellan, Phil (Virginia Cooperative Extension, 2005-09-01)
    Using yield monitors is the first step many producers take in precision farming. A yield monitor, combined with Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, is an electronic tool that collects data on crop performance for a given year. To have accurate data for yield map interpretation, the yield monitor must be properly operated and calibrated.

    Precision Farming. A Comprehensive Approach
    Grisso, Robert D.; Alley, Marcus M.; McClellan, Phil; Brann, Daniel Edward; Donohue, Stephen J. (Virginia Cooperative Extension, 2005-09-01)
    Precision Farming (PF), also referred to as precision agriculture or variable rate technology, is the process used to vary management of crop production across a field. This publication introduces the principles and terminology used in PF. Crop producers can use this information to gain a working knowledge of PF and develop the ability to implement PF technologies in traditional crop production.
