title = "Precision agriculture adoption and the optimal location of technology providers in Kentucky, USA",
abstract = "Due to the differing levels of adoption of precision agriculture, it is difficult for potential agribusiness firms to determine where to locate their business in order to minimize costs (e.g.-transportation to deliver) and supply services to all demand centers. In this study, an optimization model was developed for Kentucky, USA using mathematical programming to determine the optimal location for an agribusiness firm providing different precision agriculture technologies. Results indicated the optimal location for an agribusiness providing precision agriculture services was Muhlenberg County. Comparisons were also made to determine the loss associated with locating in counties other than the determined optimal location.",
