Me and My Job
Technology
I have a laptop and a pocket PC phone device. We have heavy duty trucks with electronic over hydraulic soil probe equipment designed to give us hydraulic test depths up to four feet. Our trucks are GPS guided.
For field scouting, we use four wheelers equipped with GPS mapping. We do some nutrient testing with electron meters that can test sap for nutrient analysis. Other electronic devices like scales and infra-red thermometers also help for records we keep.
