[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 341538, member: 1604"] I think it is used on mostly crops now too. Was talking to a crew of Wheat Combiners on their northward march a few years ago that was using GPS and "Crop Yield Monitors". The data on yields was collected by the combines and passed on to the farmer on a disk. The fertilizer applicator would then use that disk to apply fertilizer accordingly the next year. Then the data from that next year would be analyzed against subsequent years for adjustments if needed. As the cost of fertilizer goes up, the possible savings may increase. [/QUOTE]
