Download or read book Practical Mathematics for Precision Farming written by David E. Clay and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-01-22 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the public and producers becomes more aware of the environmental and economic benefits of precision farming, there has been increased demand for quality training to accurately evaluate spatial variability within fields. Practical Mathematics in Precision Farming provides hand-on training and examples for certified crop consultants (CCAs), farmers, crop consultants, and students (both undergraduate and graduate) on how to conduct to conduct and analyze on-farm studies, write simple programs, use precision techniques to scout for pests and collect soil samples, develop management zones, determine the cost of production, assess the environmental consequences of precision techniques, understand soil test results, and develop site-specific nutrient and plant population algorithms. Using real agronomic examples, the reader is taught the crucial task of managing products and inputs for application at the right rate, place, and time.
Download or read book Bet the Farm written by Beth Hoffman and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Eloquent and detailed...It's hard to have hope, but the organized observations and plans of Hoffman and people like her give me some. Read her book -- and listen." -- Jane Smiley, The Washington Post In her late 40s, Beth Hoffman decided to upend her comfortable life as a professor and journalist to move to her husband's family ranch in Iowa--all for the dream of becoming a farmer. There was just one problem: money. Half of America's two million farms made less than $300 in 2019, and many struggle just to stay afloat. Bet the Farm chronicles this struggle through Beth's eyes. She must contend with her father-in-law, who is reluctant to hand over control of the land. Growing oats is good for the environment but ends up being very bad for the wallet. And finding somewhere, in the midst of COVID-19, to slaughter grass finished beef is a nightmare. If Beth can't make it, how can farmers who confront racism, lack access to land, or don't have other jobs to fall back on hack it? Bet the Farm is a first-hand account of the perils of farming today and a personal exploration of more just and sustainable ways of producing food.

Download or read book Mathematics for Agriculture written by Betty C. Rogers and published by Prentice Hall. This book was released on 2000 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PLEASE PROVIDE COURSE INFORMATIONThe primary intent of Mathematics for Agriculture is to provide a relevant review of basic arithmetic, statistical interpretation, and algebraic concepts to prepare students for mathematics involved in other agriculture and horticulture courses. However, the book would readily lend itself for use as a general math text in an agricultural curriculum. The application problems use current and realistic agricultural situations similar to those encountered by professionals engaged in agriculturally related occupations and industries. Because the math skills required in solving problems in the text range from the very simple to the more challenging, the book can be adapted to various grade levels. Math plays an important part in everyone's life, but the increasing complexity of agricultural technology makes it mandatory that workers in agricultural occupations have skills in the analysis and solution of mathematical problems. A prominent unit on using both the English and metric systems and making conversions from one system to the other is provided. A separate Answer Key is also available.
Download or read book A Small Farm Future written by Chris Smaje and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2020-10-21 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A modern classic of the new agrarianism "Chris Smaje...shows that the choice is clear. Either we have a small farm future, or we face collapse and extinction."—Vandana Shiva "Every young person should read this book."—Richard Heinberg In a groundbreaking debut, farmer and social scientist Chris Smaje argues that organizing society around small-scale farming offers the soundest, sanest and most reasonable response to climate change and other crises of civilisation—and will yield humanity’s best chance at survival. Drawing on a vast range of sources from across a multitude of disciplines, A Small Farm Future analyses the complex forces that make societal change inevitable; explains how low-carbon, locally self-reliant agrarian communities can empower us to successfully confront these changes head on; and explores the pathways for delivering this vision politically. Challenging both conventional wisdom and utopian blueprints, A Small Farm Future offers rigorous original analysis of wicked problems and hidden opportunities in a way that illuminates the path toward functional local economies, effective self-provisioning, agricultural diversity and a shared earth. Perfect for readers of both Wendell Berry and Thomas Piketty, A Small Farm Future is a refreshing, new outlook on a way forward for society—and a vital resource for activists, students, policy makers, and anyone looking to enact change.

Download or read book Mathematics for Students of Agriculture written by Samuel Eugene Rasor and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mathematics for Students of Agriculture This book presents a year's work in mathematics for students taking agricultural courses in secondary, vocational, and technical schools and in colleges and universities. By omitting the more elementary' or the advanced topics, as may seem desirable, or by properly selecting the exercises to be solved, the book will serve quite naturally for a half-year's work. The modern agriculturalist must devote a larger and larger part of his time to mental activity along scientific lines. To do this rationally he must have better methods for, and more practice in, estimating, computing, and comparing the materials and processes with which he works. The object of the present text is to furnish a better basis for effecting these ends. The text has been used in the form of mimeographed notes for several years in the classroom, and has been modified from time to time in the light of experience and of new conditions. It was soon found that it was not safe to assume too much preparation on the part of students taking the course. Consequently, material is presented in the text for study and practice in basic elementary processes in arithmetic, algebra, and geometry. Some study of this material will suffice for those students who have not had the proper preparation for the course as well as for those students who wish to review elementary facts and principles. The unifying element in the book is the attempt to make the principles of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and graphic representation function with the student's interest and point of view'. It is hoped that in this way he may find a natural tendency to use this most basic science in the solution at least of those problems which arise in his own sphere of activity. We may, therefore, expect the student to acquire in this way not less of mathematical value and content but more of it.
