According to the 5th edition of the GSA’s popular GNSS Market Report, the uptake of GNSS-enabled precision agriculture will continue to grow. This is due to the many benefits precision agriculture provides farmers, including increased productivity, reliability and cost-effectiveness. The Market Report also identifies a trend towards integrating GNSS into other technologies in order to further enhance farm management.
