GIS in agriculture helps farmers to achieve increased production and reduced costs by enabling better management of land resources. Precision agriculture, often known as precision farming, is a farming concept that uses geographic information to identify field variability to assure optimal input utilization and optimize farm production (Esri, 2008). Precision farming became popular as it was discovered that different fields of land have distinct qualities. Soil types, moisture content, nutrient availability, and other factors vary widely across large areas of land. Farmers can more precisely identify what inputs to put where and in what quantities by using remote sensing, geographic information systems (GIS), and global positioning systems (GPS).
