Precision farming is the wave of the future. Precision farming is any technological development which will help farmers gain a production advantage. It can range from a yield monitor on a combine, to idientifying WIND-BLOWN KNOLLS which can be enhanced with manure applications, to complex satellites which can mark precise locations in a field within centimeters. Precision farming is basically assessing the variability of the soil and then learning to manage the variability to optimize productivity.  1, fiche 1, Anglais, - wind%2Dblown%20knoll

One innovative Granton area farmer is experimenting with ways to restore the productivity of his eroded knolls. As a Tillage 2000 Program co-operator, Wilf Riddell saw areas of his fields that consistently yielded poorly. The problem areas were on the side slopes where a lack of topsoil, organic matter and moisture severely hampered yields.  2, fiche 1, Anglais, - wind%2Dblown%20knoll

Yield plots are generated by placing a yield monitor and satellite positioning receiver in the harvester. The crop is then harvested in the usual manner. Information recorded by these sensors is then downloaded into a computer to generate yield plots.  1, fiche 2, Anglais, - yield%20monitor
