North Carolina Cotton Farmers' Activities, Perceptions, and Attitudes Toward Precision Farming

Michele C. Marra, North Carolina State University, Box 8109 Dept. Agricultural and Resource Economics, NCSU, Raleigh, NC 27695-8109

This poster will present a summary of the North Carolina sample results from the Southern Precision Farming Survey - 2005. Summary tables and graphs will cover current precision farming activities, the effect of those activities on profit and the riskiness of profit, general attitudes of North Carolina farmers toward precision farming, and characteristics of farmers who have adopted or not adopted precision farming tools such as a cotton yield monitor with GPS and a variable rate technology. The poster will be designed to compliment the posters from the other states involved in the survey and with the overall regional summary that will be given as an oral presentation.
