Precision Agriculture

DGPS Static and Dynamic Study
Farmers have access to several government and commercials sources for Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) corrections to achieve desired accuracy requirements for their precision agriculture activities. Some farmers have asked us: “Does the source matter?” To provide an answer, the Agricultural Research Center-Hays conducted a comparison of three DGPS correction sources (Coast Guard Beacon, FAA WAAS, and OmniSTAR) in both static and dynamic modes.
