Remote Sensing and GPS Services
Remote sensing
takes place on two levels. On a micro level it aids in determining crop
stress, while on a macro level serves to identify planted land thus aiding in
yield forecasting. The remote sensing service offered by Farm-IT is
supplied via the Internet with an internet-based recordkeeping system.
If the farmer
subscribes to this service, he receives five images throughout the growing
season. These images aid in determining plant reaction according to
climate as well as management activities. Accurate decisions can be made
using these comprehensive records.

The accuracy of areas
of land/management zones is supplied by making use of GPS surveying. GPS
soil-mapping provides the farmer and the agriculturist with accurate information
enabling better decision-making based on soil-mapping.
