Introduction Many row crop operations such as tillage, planting, spraying, and spreading require that a tractor and implement make multiple, equal-width parallel swaths through the field. To maximize field efficiency and crop yields, operators must drive accurately to avoid excessive overlaps or gaps in field coverage. Traditionally, visual guidance systems such as mechanical and foam… read more »
Introduction Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is a satellite navigation system with global coverage that uses satellites to provide autonomous geo-spatial positioning.[1] The satellites provide signals from space that transmit positioning and timing data to GNSS receivers. The receivers then use this data to determine location[2] and also provide navigation or tracking the position of… read more »

Introduction Improved GNSS ground-based augmentation systems can enable cost-effective precision agriculture services to farmers, especially those with small and medium-sized businesses in areas of Europe where EGNOS availability may be poor under certain conditions. In several areas of Eastern and South Europe GPS accuracy is much less than the standard provided by existing augmentation services. This… read more »
