 | AgQuest has adopted Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as an integral part of our business. GPS and GIS have been integrated with other services including crop water management, nutritional analysis, pest management, land use planning, and field problem analysis. All of our mapping work is proportional in scale and accurate to within one meter.

GPS and GIS are directly useful any time you are working with information which is geographic in nature. In agriculture, this applies to a great many activities, since we are frequently working with cropped fields and trying to describe some characteristics about them or trying to solve a problem. These technologies give you the ability to relate information you have and will acquire to geographic areas of land.
GPS and GIS can be used for storing historical information including field cropping and yields from previous years,as well as water, fertilizer, and chemical applications on individual fields. These technologies can also be used for land use planning such as future cropping patterns for field crops, realigning fields, and new developments for permanent crops. Another major area for GPS and GIS is in analyzing problem situations. Applying GPS and GIS does not necessarily give you solutions to problems, but they do make it much easier to identify the problems, quantify their effect, and suggest possible solutions.
