Terry Griffin    Status of Precision Agriculture  The commercialization of GPS along with sensor technology in the 1990s gave rise to what we refer to as ‘precision  agriculture’.  During the last twenty years, many farmers have adopted the technology and even utilized it in ways that  the industry had not anticipated; however, not all farms use the technology today due to a variety of reasons.  One  reason often stated is the uncertainty regarding the return on investment.  Today, the agricultural industry has a  renewed interest in precision agriculture due to advances that seemingly improve production and profitability.    Academic studies that evaluate the profitability of precision agriculture technologies have indicated inconsistent results.   Most of these studies focused on a single field rather as a whole‐farm system.  Several studies have reported survey‐ based perceptions and adoption of precision agriculture, however only a few reports are still being produced.  The  largest and most rigorous survey of farm‐level adoption and use of technology has been the U.S. Department of  Agriculture Economic Research Service unit of the Agricultural Resource Management Survey (USDA ARMS) survey.  The  most recent USDA ARMS report was based on 2001 to 2009 data (Schimmelpfennig and Ebel, 2011).  They reported that  less than half of all planted acres in 2009 were harvested with a combine equipped with a GPS and yield monitor.  The  September …
