Abstract:
Over the years, precision agriculture has become a hot topic in agronomy due to its ability to increase the efficiency in crop production. A survey was distributed at the Wisconsin Farm Technology Days in Barron County on July 9th, 10th, and 11th at the Lakeland Cooperative exhibit. Data were analyzed to determine if Wisconsin farmers were using new precision agriculture technology, and if so, how well they understood how to use it.  This survey was also intended to help benefit the cooperative, so its employees could understand better how to aid their customers that use precision agriculture.
