Description: More farmers are investing in GPS systems but navigating the different systems can be challenging. This is the first in a series of podcasts on the Tillage Edge exploring the area of precision technology on farms. Craig England, a Precision Ag and Machine Control Specialist working for Topcon Positioning Ireland, joined Michael Hennessy to go through the requirements for a tillage farmer getting started with a GPS system. Craig explained that the accuracy of farmer-based systems could vary from 40cm to 2cm accuracy. There are different hardware specifications and subscriptions, which a farmer can purchase to increase the accuracy. Craig also said that a good system to control GPS enabled sprayers or fertiliser spreaders will cost in the region of €4,000.
