The GIS Applications in Agriculture series was developed to advance and support the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in agriculture by providing a venue for users to share their applications and innovations. The value of using GIS in agriculture continually increases as advances in technology accelerate the need for the acquisition, management, and analysis of spatial data both on the farm and throughout the agriculture value chain. Series books focus on relevant applications of GIS for agriculture that address various topics and audiences. The primary audience for the series is GIS users in an agricultural context including researchers, educators, government agencies, private firms, consultants, and growers.
