Martin Hall, RCE Env. & Nat. Res., CRSSA Since 1997, Rutgers Cooperative Extension (RCE) and the Grant F. Walton Center for Remote Sensing and Spatial Analysis (CRSSA) have begun a cooperative program to bring site-specific precision agricultural tools to the small farms and fields common to New Jersey. These tools include Global Positioning Systems (GPS), Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS). This state-of-the-art technology aids agricultural and natural resource professionals in making better management decisions for increased yields and profits, decreased costs, and better management of the resources on which agriculture depends.
