Precision farmers can now collect more detailed information about the spatial characteristics of their farming operation than ever before. In addition to yield, boundary and field attribute maps, a wide array of new electronic, mechanical and chemical sensors are being developed to measure and map many soil and plant properties. Soil electrical conductivity (EC) is one of the simplest, least expensive soil measurements available to precision farmers today.
