This concept is not new. What is new is the ability to automate data collection and documentation and the utilisation of this information for strategic farm management decision in the field operations through mechanisation, sensing and communication technology.... The term means different things to different people. To some, PF means using satellite, sensors and field or thematic maps. PF is in fact a comprehensive system designed to optimize agriculture production by carefully tailoring soil and crop management to fit the different conditions found in each field while maintaining environmental quality(Blackmore, et. al, 1994). 2, record 1, English, - precision%20agriculture

The cases make clear that whether or not parties are bound immediately by an informal oral agreement is a question of fact to be determined in each case. If the evidence indicates that the execution of a formal contract is a condition of the bargain, then the informal agreement is merely "a contract to make a contract, "and is not binding on the parties until the formal execution of an agreement. On the other hand, if the evidence indicates that the execution of a formal contract is merely the expression of the already complete and binding contract, then the informal agreement is binding and the formal documentation need not be completed. 2, record 4, English, - informal%20agreement
