Farm Business Management

Before the seed goes in the ground, farmers spray the ground. For this particular filed the farm is using 28% nitrogen and a preplant herbicide. Thanks to technology, the farmer can utilize GPS and other onboard technology to better control the amount of spray being used.

While some tractors are equipped with GPS technology others use the old marker system to mark the ends of the field.
