1. Where do Sensing Technologies Fit into a Farmers Program?

2. Where Do Sensors Fit Fine Tuning High Yield Production Systems
Crop Risk Management
Evaluating Soil N Contributions
Manure/Organics Management
Crop Quality
Environmental Management

3. Where Do Sensors Fit Fine Tuning High Yield Production Systems
Spatial variability

4. Where Do Sensors Fit Crop Risk Management
Drought risk, the KState sorghum approach
N Loss potential
Be able to figure out how much extra N may be needed in wet years
Be able to patch up the holes in variable fields

5. Where Do Sensors Fit
Evaluating Soil N Contributions: do soil tests even work?
Carry over N
An alternative to profile N sampling, which farmers won’t do.
Mineralized N
Soybean credits
Organic matter contributions
An open winter

6. Where Do Sensors Fit Manure/Organics Management
Do we really know what’s in manure?
Do we really know how much was put on?
Distribution?
Mineralization rate?
Volatilization of ammonia?
