Global Postioning System
The use of GPS systems is still not commonplace on every farm and there are still many obstacles in the way to achieving that goal. The system is expensive and is generally seen more on larger farms. However, over time, technology tends to come down in price and eventually I expect the majority of farms will utilize gps in one form or another. Eventually, the idea of remotely controlled tractors tilling, planting and harvesting may become a reality.
