Descripción
Precision farming has the potential to increase farm productivity, lower input costs and increase expected
returns. Despite these potential benefits, the adoption of precision farming technology in Australia has
been relatively slow. One of the reasons for this is the lack of information regarding the technology. This
study investigated the information needs of farmers in relation to precision farming. The study was
conducted in Western Australia and involved interviews with 400 farmers. The study identified current
information gaps and information needs of farmers in relation to precision farming.
