Precision farming (PF) is an emerging technology with substantial promise to aid farmers and society. By making more informed management decisions and improving input allocation through use of PF, farmers can become more efficient, lower production costs, and, potentially, increase profits. This is a report of case studies of six leading Ohio precision farmers. Its purpose is to illustrate the types of systems used, the value these farmers perceive they derive from the system, and the changes that have resulted in how they manage their farms. Case studies may be particularly useful in helping other farmers make decisions about the technology. Keep in mind that the cases are a “snapshot” in time and reflect all the individual management expertise and resources of a particular operation.
