SOIL QUALITY MONITORING TECHNOLOGY We have already been improving our soils and making our fields more uniform for more than 20 years through various crop mapping and variable rate applications . Soil monitoring has been a time-consuming process for farmers for years . Using ground probes to manually collect soil samples from assumed " best " locations does not always give an accurate look at soil quality .
With newly available soil-monitoring technology , soil sampling can be automated . Machines used for soil sample harvests are guided by GPS , can be programmed to pull samples at specific intervals and can collect data during harvests for later recollection and analysis .
AUTOMATED FARM MACHINERY AND ROBOTICS While farmers have been using GPS technology for everything from field mapping to farm planning for years , some of the latest tractors can function completely autonomously . Worker hours are drastically reduced , fields are tended faster and more efficiently and the profit margin can increase because of this change .
