The soil paradox

2014-06-17 21:37:49 TO GO WITH AFP STOY by Rob LEVER, US-farm-IT-Internet-environment A global positioning receiver is seen on the top of a combine harvester at the Little Bohemia Creek farm on June 17, 2014 in Warwick, Maryland. The farm on Maryland's eastern shore is part of a growing "precision agriculture" movement that uses high-tech tools to replace seat-of-the-pants farming. GPS auto-steered tractors cut down or eliminate overplowing and overlap that wastes fuel and time. Other technologies can sense just how much water is needed in a field to cut irrigation costs. At Little Bohemia Creek, the tractor's sensors gauge the health of various segments of a field to deliver fertilizer and other chemicals more efficiently, which has an environmental benefit.
