Jonesboro, Ark.-- GPS Landforming is the latest precision agriculture tool to hit mainstream adoption by farmers looking to increase production and profits according to agricultural engineer, Dr Graeme Cox.
GPS Landforming is the reshaping of a fields topography to predesigned 3D surfaces using high accuracy GPS to control the blade height of the earth moving machine. It is typically done to improve surface drainage and water infiltration uniformity.
Davco Optisurface, who develop the leading 3D landform design software, OptiSurface Designer, have seen strong adoption recently as the concept catches on. Their software has been used to design more than 400,000 acres and that makes them the number one 3D landform design software according Arkansas based Global Sales Manager, Preston Marthey.
