Abstract
Site-specific farming is dependent on having large amounts of reliable data. The gap between acquiring this information and using it effectively in making agricultural management decisions has widened. Collecting only the data that can be used effectively for management decisions is important. In this paper we identify the data needed to make site-specific management decisions, describe traditional and non-traditional data collection methods, discuss how these data might be used in the decision making process, and identify future needs.
