Abstract
Courses in the Precision Agriculture Certificate will help develop the understanding, knowledge and skills needed to successfully incorporate precision agriculture technology into business operations.
It covers important concepts in precision farming, provides background information and prepares you to implement precision farming practices. The potential impact of precision farming on crop production and farming operations is influenced by the rapidly emerging technologies that make precision farming possible.
These technologies range from fertilizer, chemical and planting prescriptions; variable-rate irrigation; collecting, mapping and analyzing data, to GPS and auto steering; drones; soil sampling and more. Course offerings provide a background in all of these areas.
