Using survey data collected in 2009, we present descriptive statistics on the status of cotton precision technology adoption in North Carolina. Information about the utilization of precision technologies for gathering spatial information (i.e. yield monitors, soil sampling, aerial photos, etc.) and for variable rate application of inputs (i.e. fertilizers, pesticides, etc.) in North Carolina will be shown.
