Abstract
This work covers the development of a continuously-measuring sensor capable of mapping soil compaction on a field scale. The sensor was developed utilizing a unique technique to measure air permeability. The sensor measures the pressure required to force a constant flow rate of air into the soil through a specially designed tillage shank. It utilizes Lab View for control and data collection and a GPS receiver for position coordinates.
