The historical image of farm labor has been that associated with backbreaking work, long hours and low pay. From the earliest times attempts have been made to alleviate drudgery through inventions and developments of implements and machines that have gradually transformed agriculture into a modern industry served by technologically sophisticated mechanization systems.
Precision farming practices including the use of global positioning systems (GPS) and geographic information systems (GIS) are applicable not only to harvesting operations but to other farm mechanization operations including precision application of agrochemicals i.e. applying a pesticide or a crop nutrient where it is required and at the appropriate concentration rather than using blanket coverage.
