Global positioning system

The real issue is in being asked. Like any classic cocktail, the sidecar, in this day and age, is at its greatest use as a Global Positioning System. If you find yourself in a place where they don t know the question, then they can t make the answer.

The field and any subportions of the field to be sampled must have specific unique labels. These labels are typically recorded in a field or laboratory notebook. The notebook will also contain their exact location using a global positioning system (GPS). The position of any samples taken in any part of the area is also recorded using its GPS location. This is the only way one can be certain were a sample was taken. Flags or other markers are always subject to being lost or moved. 

More advanced applications of e-agriculture in farming exist in the use of sophisticated information and communication technologies such as satellite systems, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), and advanced computers and electronic systems to improve the quantity and quality of production (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations 2005). 

In a similar fashion GPS, the global positioning system, uses many satellites to achieve an accurate result (see Figure 5.2). When only a few are above the horizon the position fix is perhaps to the nearest kilometre or so, but if there are eight or more satellites, positions can be fixed to a few metres. So it is clear that whether one modeller is used and several methods, or many modellers and many methods, relying on only a single attempt no matter how complex would be the most risky approach to modelling.
