摘要
This study uses United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) data to look at precision agriculture (PA) technology adoption by farm size and by soil variability. Data from winter wheat farms in 2017, maize farms in 2016 and soybean farms in 2012 shows that while adoption of PA technology is highest on larger farms, in the United States PA technology is used across all farm sizes. In addition, the soil variability data showed that yield and soil mapping, and variable rate technology (VRT) for fertilizer are most often adopted on farms with the highest soil variability.
