Precision Farming in General:

Evaluating Site-Specific Precision Farming Systems for Soybeans
Evaluating Site-Specific Precision Farming Systems for Soybeans is managed by the Foundation for Agronomic Research with support from the Potash & Phosphate Institute and primary funding from the United Soybean Board.

Geographical Information Systems ("GIS"):

American Congress on Surveying and Mapping
Originally named the National Congress on Surveying and Mapping when it was founded in June 1941, the society sought to better coordinate the nation's surveying and mapping activities.

Global Positioning Systems ("GPS"):

International GPS Service
International GPS Service (IGS) was formally recognized in 1993 by the International Association of Geodesy (IAG), and began routine operations on January 1, 1994, providing GPS orbits, tracking data, and other data products in support of geodetic and geophysical research.

Remote Sensing:

Ag20/20 is a unique industry/government partnership driven by the needs of commodity producers. This partnership is the result of a year-long dialog between NASA's Earth Science Enterprise Applications Program, USDA's Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service (CSREES), the National Corn Growers Association, the National Cotton Council, the United Soybean Board, and the National Association of Wheat Growers.

The International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing
In 1910, the International Society for Photogrammetry (ISP) was founded under the leadership of its first President, Eduard Dolezal, from Austria. After 70 years of functioning under its original name, the Society changed its name in 1980 to the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS).  The International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing is a non-governmental organization devoted to the development of international cooperation for the advancement of photogrammetry and remote sensing and their applications.

The Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Society
Inaugurated in April 2001 by the merger of the Remote Sensing Society and the Photogrammetric Society.

American Society for Photogrammetry & Remote Sensing
Founded in 1934, the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) is a scientific association serving over 7,000 professional members around the world.

Upper Midwest Aerospace Consortium
We develop products and services for Agriculture, for Natural Resource Management, and for K-12 Education, using satellite imagery and other spatial technologies. We also provide information and educational outreach services to the general public with respect to regional impacts of environmental and climatic change. We provide products, services, and information to the general public by operating as a Public Access Resource Center, or PARC, focused principally on the agriculture, natural resource management, and education communities.

The Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society
Formed in 1962 The Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society seeks to advance geoscience and remote sensing science and technology through scientific, technical and educational activities.
