Field boundaries serve as the digital cookie cutters of precision agriculture, defining where field operations begin and end for optimal resource management. Understanding their purpose and creation methods allows consultants and growers to implement more precise applications and better predict input needs.
• Boundaries determine where equipment turns on and off during field operations
• Accurate boundaries help predict input requirements and prevent waste
• Vector files (typically shape files) define the digital representation of field boundaries
• Water management requires different boundary considerations than nutrient management
• Creating boundaries can be done through driven collection with RTK-enabled vehicles
• Drawing boundaries in GIS software requires well georeferenced backgrounds like NAIP imagery
• Common Land Units (CLUs) provide a starting point but often lack precision
• Moving vertices allows for refinement of boundary polygons
• Accurate boundaries serve as the foundation for all precision agriculture mapping
