Provides an in-depth study of precision agriculture systems, data management tools, and site-specific crop management strategies. Learners examine the operation and accuracy of GPS/GNSS systems, yield monitors, grid and zone soil sampling, remote sensing technologies, and autosteer guidance and implement rate control systems. Students analyze agronomic data, interpret aerial imagery, create management zones, and develop variable-rate prescriptions using precision agriculture software. Hands-on lab work supports skill development in equipment operation, software use, and data interpretation for modern agronomic practices.
