Precision Farming
What is Precision Farming?
Precision Farming or Precision Agriculture is an agricultural concept relying on the existence of in-field variability. The intent of precision agriculture is to match agricultural inputs and practices to localized conditions within a field (site-specific management) and to improve the accuracy of their application. It requires the use of two new technologies, such as global positioning systems (GPS) and geographic information systems (GIS) to assess and understand variations. Together they will enable farmers to use electronic guidance aids to direct equipment movements more accurately, provide precise positioning for all equipment actions and chemical applications, and analyze all of that data in association with other sources of data (agronomic, climatic, etc). This will add up to a new and powerful toolbox of management tools for the progressive farm manager.

Chris is excited to join Selmac Sales as the GPS Specialist. He has a background in agriculture ranging from his childhood on the farm to experience in grain processing, farm management, and agricultural equipment sales and service. He stepped away from agriculture and spent the last four years managing in the commercial and industrial construction supply industry. Four years away from the smell of freshly turned soil was all he needed, to know where his career path belonged. Chris is married with five children and when he isn’t working, you can usually find him at home on his acreage or at the lake, boating with his family. He is excited to partner up with Selmac Sales providing customer support for the Topcon, Raven and Outback family of GPS solutions.
