Abstract: In one aspect, an agricultural system is provided and includes an information gathering component, a first component and a second component. The information gathering component is configured to gather information pertaining to at least one agricultural characteristic and generate agricultural data associated with the gathered information. The agricultural data is transmitted over a network and used to generate an agricultural prescription, which is comprised of at least one agricultural characteristic and at least one agricultural action. The first component includes a network interface for receiving the agricultural prescription over the network and the second component is in communication with the first component. The second component is configured to receive the agricultural prescription from the first component and is configured to output the at least one agricultural action.

Abstract: In one example, an agricultural system is provided and includes a first component and a second component. The first component includes a network interface for receiving an agricultural prescription over a network. The agricultural prescription is comprised of at least one agricultural characteristic and at least one agricultural action. The second component is in communication with the first component and configured to receive the agricultural prescription from the first component. The second component is configured to output the at least one agricultural action. In one example, an agricultural system is provided and includes an agricultural device and an agricultural communication device including a network interface for receiving an agricultural prescription over a network. The agricultural prescription is comprised of at least one agricultural characteristic and at least one agricultural action. The agricultural device is configured to output the agricultural action.

Abstract: A system and method can generate an agricultural projection associated with a land area of interest. A computing element receives grower data associated with the land area of interest from at least one of an information gathering component and a source. The computing element generates a grower profile for the land area of interest based on the received grower data associated with the land area of interest. The computing element generates an agricultural projection for the land area of interest based on grower profile associated with the land area of interest. The computing element transmits the agricultural projection over a network.

Abstract: In one aspect, a method of sampling soil is provided and includes determining a soil sampling location in a land area of interest by using, at least in part, an electronic device, displaying a first visual image associated with the soil sampling location on a display of the electronic device, navigating to the soil sampling location with the electronic device, sampling soil at the soil sampling location with a soil tester, and displaying a second visual image on the display of the electronic device associated with a result obtained from the soil sample. In one aspect, the electronic device may be a mobile electronic communication device.

Abstract: In one aspect, an agricultural system is provided and includes an information gathering component and a computing element. The information gathering component is configured to gather information pertaining to at least one agronomic characteristic of a land area of interest and generate agricultural data associated with the gathered information. The agricultural data is configured to be transmitted over a network. The computing element includes a processor and a memory. The computing element is configured to receive at least one of the agricultural data from the information gathering component and agricultural data from a source. The computing element is configured to determine an agronomic ratio associated with two agronomic characteristics based on the received data, and the computing element is configured to generate agronomic ratio data associated with the agronomic ratio. The agronomic ratio data is configured to be transmitted over the network.
