As in every business, the manager must examine all aspects of their operation and make decisions and adjustments to become as efficient and productive as possible. As the business manager uses tools to examine his/her business, site specific is the tool to make crop production more efficient and productive.

Every grower knows that some areas of a field are more productive than others by crop growth or by grain coming into the grain tank at harvest. Some growers have even gone to the extent of manually managing areas of the field. While that grower may increase production in some areas and save money on inputs in other areas, those gains/savings are probably lost in efficiency.

The use of technology and site specific tools enables the grower to collect more repeatable information, to make better, more informed decisions, with gains in efficiency for implementation and application.
