No No B 17a-d table Seeds Was an herbicide resistant rice seed (such as Clearfield) planted in the selected field? Did the rice planted on the selected field have any of the following herbicide resistant traits in 2021?

No yes F 17 3160 Precision Agriculture New item Did you use an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), known as a drone, to help produce or manage the production of rice in the selected field in 2021? Reason for question: There growing interest in the use of drone technology in field crop production, but little comprehensive information on how drones are used. This question will provide data on the extent of use and the reasons for use, and will help to evaluate the costs and benefits of current drone technology in corn production. Why does the question need to be in ARMS? The survey encompasses a large and representative sample of producers. Because the survey also gathers information on production practices, yields, inputs, and finances, it is the only channel to evaluate the impact of drone adoption of farm productive and financial outcomes.

Equipment check Reason for question: There growing interest in the use of drone technology in field crop production, but little comprehensive information on how drones are used. This question will provide data on the extent of use and the reasons for use, and will help to evaluate the costs and benefits of current drone technology in corn production. Why does the question need to be in ARMS? The survey encompasses a large and representative sample of producers.

Reason for question: There growing interest in the use of drone technology in field crop production, but little comprehensive information on how drones are used. This question will provide data on the extent of use and the reasons for use, and will help to evaluate the costs and benefits of current drone technology in corn production. Why does the question need to be in ARMS? The survey encompasses a large and representative sample of producers.

Irrigation Applications Precision agriculture technologies, including those aimed at variable rate application of inputs, are spreading through agriculture. They affect resource use, finances, and the environmental impacts of agricultural production. We need to add this question in order to accurately track farm finances and productivity. Why does the question need to be in ARMS? The survey encompasses a large and representative sample of producers. Because the survey also gathers information on production practices, yields, inputs, and finances, it is the only channel to evaluate the impact of drone adoption of farm productive and financial outcomes.
