Abstract

GPS (Global Positioning Systems) have considerable potential to assist pastoral farmers in coping with pressures they will face in future. These include managing resource use, environmental constraints and controlling farm input costs. Keywords: GPS, farm mapping, precision agriculture, pastoral farming, fertiliser application, irrigation, K-line, long lateral irrigation, traceability
