Abstract
The rapid technological developments during the last few years have introduced radical changes in the working environment in the agricultural sector. Agriculture has entered a new era in which the key to success is access to timely information and elaborated decision-making. The up-to-date and skilled farm manager has to choose between various production options utilizing the latest advancements in research and technology. Decision-making is an important aspect in farm management. The basis for enhanced decision-making is availability of timely, high-quality data. Technologies now available allow the concept of precision agriculture to be realized in a practical production setting. Some of the new concepts in the technologies have been discussed in this chapter.
