You can’t afford even one accident! Careful planning can help avoid tragic - and costly - accidents. Why do you need this book? The answer is simple: agriculture is a hazardous industry. Farming and ranching can be uniquely rewarding occupations, but if you don’t follow safe work practices they can be dangerous. According to the National Safety Council (NSC),there were an estimated 1,200 agricultural work-related deaths and 140,000 disabling work-related injuries in the United States in 1992. But you already knew farming and ranching are filled with danger. What you maybe do not know so well is what you can do about it. This book will tell you. We will tell and show you 21 ways to avoid the No. 1 fatal farm accident...and that’s just for starters. We show you very practical ways to avoid pinch points; wrapping, shearing, crushing, and pull-in hazards; thrown objects and freewheeling parts; electrical and stored energy; and much, much more. Farm and Ranch Safety Management is the definitive reference work in rural safety. This 358-page book is filled with EPA, OSHA, and other regulatory agency standards and suggested ways to meet or exceed those standards. Topics covered in simple, straightforward language include safety machine operation, handling toxic chemicals, hazardous waste disposal, and developing an overall safety management plan.

The Precision Farming Guide for Agriculturists is an overview of site-specific farming and its many varied systems and applications. This book discusses in detail: types of positioning systems, from land-based to global positioning systems to geo-stationary satellite systems; yield monitoring systems; mapping, soil sampling, soil testing; and new technologies such as remote sensing, variable rate technology, and geographic information systems. This book also closely studies important considerations that every agriculturist needs to examine, beginning with whether site-specific farming is for you. It then explores system development and integration, economic considerations, and environmental considerations. A complete glossary of precision-farming terms is included, along with an extensive suggested reading list (books, journals, magazine articles, and World Wide Web sites).

The Precision Farming Guide for Agriculturists

Developed with the cooperation of the National FFA Farm Business Management Contest Committee, this book remains the definite text on managing a farm or ranch on sound business principles. An important key to the survival of the farm and ranch is good business management. The new breed of farmer and rancher that is emerging must know how to apply management principles to their operation in order to make the most profit. They must be able to compete and win in a highly volatile worldwide commodity marketplace. Being able to do so requires extensive knowledge of all aspects of the business. Until the First Edition of this book, a serious gap existed in the quest for this knowledge. In response, Deere &amp; Company developed Farm and Ranch Business Management. This was and is a basic book that is the first word on the subject. The experts, as a practical guide for the agribusiness manager, wrote it. It explains in plain English the principles and techniques that every farmer and rancher must know.
