GIS a Power Tool-Solutions for Agriculture Worldwide
 All sectors of the agriculture industry use GIS to share data, increase yields,
predict outcomes, and improve business practices- GIS for everything
 Producers use GIS to better manage their farms by creating information-dense
reports and maps that give them a unique perspective of their operations-Micro
Level GIS
 By applying GIS to their operations, agricultural operations are able to manage
resources and responsibilities more efficiently, devise data portals that disseminate
vast amounts of agricultural data and interactive maps, and support farming
communities-Macro Level GIS
 Farm managers also use GIS to submit government program applications,
simplifying what used to be time-consuming multistep processes- GIS at National
Level
 Combined with remote-sensing technology, GIS can be used to precisely
determine and control inputs, saving preventive expense and reducing the amount
of harm to the soil- GIS with HIGH Technology
