Geographic Analysis Means Productivity
From production to distribution in the agricultural business, geography
is an important factor. The competitive market in agriculture is pushing
farmers to produce more from the same lands. To achieve this, farmers
have begun using a process called precision agriculture where they must
learn and respond to the variations within the geography of a field that
affect crop productivity. Analyzing, studying and treating these variations
is known as site-specific analysis which results in greater productivity.
The agriculture business, or agribusiness, relies on locational geographic
information for production, food processing, transportation and marketing.
ESRI: A Productivity Tool
ESRI provides mapping software to create the maps and tables that make
precision agriculture and agribusiness easier and more productive. To
implement the process of precision agriculture, farmers need to perform
annual planning, data collection, and land and soil analysis. Using ESRI,
the farmer can enter the data gained from sampling, crop scouting, and
yield monitoring into a GIS (Geographic Information System) and combine
it with the GPS (Global Positioning System ) location data. By combining
the data and the geographic information, ESRI can then display the information
in maps and tables. Information can be readily updated and changed in
ESRI, enabling easy monitoring of growth and productivity. The maps created
in ESRI are an excellent visual and hands-on aid in the management process
of precision agriculture. Agribusiness benefits from ESRI maps and data
available from GIS and GPS as well, using the maps to plot, predict, plan
and monitor food production and consummation, transportation routes and
marketing campaigns.
ESRI can also aid you in generating maps and reports that analyze and
display your lending activity, so that you can be prepared for your examinations.
