Farming/Ranching Operation located in East Central Oklahoma1500-1750 acres: corn Average Yield: 190 bu/ac (247 highest)1000-1250 acres: wheat Average Yield: 65 bu/ac (97 highest)1000-1250 acres: soybeans Average Yield: 35 bu/ac (70 highest)1500 acres: grass (hay)4000 acres: pasture
Rotation is wheat, double-cropped soybeans, followed by corn.Modern equipment, but use of precision agriculture is limited.
Ranching Operation: 850 head of cattle

Class Inputs for implementation of Precision Agriculture Practices
1. Soil Sampling2. N-rich Strip 3. Yield monitors4. Changes in crop rotation5. Variable rate planting6. Guidance Systems
Other considerations for implementation of Precision Agriculture Practices
1. No-till2. Variable rate application of pesticides/fertilizers
THE BOTTOM LINE FOR ADOPTION/IMPLEMENTATION
1. Return on investment must be greater than previous methodology or farming practices2. Input costs must be reduced
