Employees ~ 350,000 people (largest commercial industry in the State) million acres in agriculture use (largest single land use in the State)

Us problem not a you problem? “Increasing human populations and the associated land-use changes continue to be the primary factors causing water quality and habitat degradation in the Bay and its watershed.” Source: 2009 USGS Report (United States Geological Survey)

Agricultures Role

Goal of New Ag Technologies Goal: Farm practices that are environmentally beneficial and economically self sustaining.

CRA GreenSeeker Program

Vigor-Based Nitrogen Management NDVI = Normalized Difference Vegetative Index Uses red and near-infrared light Outputs NDVI- A biomass/vigor measurement Operates day or night Not affected by clouds or sun

N Application Model NDVI = Normalized Difference Vegetative Index

How are recent changes in agricultural practices affecting nitrate in groundwater?
