 Precision AG to me is using technology to increase production while saving time and money.  Precision AG is also the ability to use products and equipment to be effective but also economically friendly.

Sectional control is when certain portions of a boom or applicator is turned off as the implement enters covered area.

For a sprayer flow control can be utilized from the cab through GPS monitoring systems and Sprayer controllers.

Anhydrous applicators range from strip tillage to conventional tillage And range in widths from 25ft ft

Vapor rate controller

1. A pump to boost the pressure of anhydrous ammonia coming from the nurse tank. This pump maintains constant pressure of ammonia distributed to knives. Anhydrous ammonia can be applied consistently over a wide variation in tank pressure, even on a very cold day. 2. Orifices are used at the manifold for each line going to an injection knife. These orifices keep anhydrous ammonia as a liquid until it has been split equally between the openers or knives

3. A flow control system is used to assure that the application rate of anhydrous ammonia is constant and to allow for variable rate application. Prices starting at $10000

On a 60 ft tool using flow control and shutoff valves vs. Anhydrous price 60 cents per pound 100 lbs per acre Money saved per square quarter of land = $814 Money saved per odd shaped quarter of land = $1338 In twelve square fields this system could pay for itself
