This poster will accompany an oral presentation of the aggregate finding from a 2005 survey of cotton farmers in 11 states (Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia) designed to evaluate their use of cotton precision farming technologies. The poster will be a companion to a series of posters that will present findings for each of seven states (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Tennessee). It will concentrate mostly on findings from the 2005 survey, while the oral presentation will dedicate more time to comparing findings from the 2005 survey with findings from a similar survey that was done in 2001. Presentation alongside the state posters will allow direct comparisons of aggregate results with those for the states.
