  Emergency Wind Erosion Control If wind erosion has started, it can be reduced by mulching with manure or other anchored plant materials such as straw or hay. Mulching is most effective when applied before soil starts to move. The goal of emergency tillage is to make the soil surface rougher by producing resistant clods and surface ridges. A rough surface reduces wind speed. 4 pages. $0.55 Quantity:

  Field Efficiency Gains You Can Expect from a Guidance System Publication explains how a well-working guidance system (such as WAAS, OmniStar, RTK) can increase field efficiencies up to 10 percent. It includes an equation to calculate the efficiency increase when applying one guidance system over another. 4 p. $0.50 Quantity:

• MF2942

  Choose a GPS Guidance System Based on Farm Needs Precision farming activities are based on global positioning system (GPS) coordinates. The three main types of guidance systems are: Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), also known as satellite based augmentation system (SBAS); OmniSTAR; and real-time kinematic (RTK) systems. 4 p. $0.50 Quantity:

• MF3002

  Connect GPS Equipment through the Serial Port Most precision farming equipment comes with its own global positioning system (GPS), but some equipment requires the operator to make connections with other units, typically through a nine-pin RS-232 serial port. 2 p. $0.30 Quantity:
