Abstract: That practical philosopher, Yogi Berra, has been quoted as saying, “It’s difficult to make predictions, particularly about the future” (Laidler). He is, of course, correct and the observations offered here shouldn’t be assessed as predictions. A better term might be speculations, based upon the path of precision agriculture to date, societal needs, and an incomplete assessment of relevant technologies currently in late-stage development or early-stage commercialization. Implementation of those technologies, if successful, is likely to have significant impact on how decisions in the ag sector are made.
