Article Abstract:
A number of critically important legislation and regulatory policies were enacted during the 1990s that will affect the agricultural industry for many years. They include the Food Quality Protection Act of 1997 that will enter its most critical year of implementation in 2000, with the EPA releasing decisions that will establish the direction of pesticide regulation for a long time. Debates regarding proposed EPA guidelines under the Clean Water Act of 1977 are reaching a peak in 1st qtr 2000.

Avoiding mixed signals
Article Abstract:
Agricultural operators need to examine the effectiveness of their global positioning system (GPS) signals and equipment. Trimble Navigation Ltd. sales and marketing manager, precision agricultural systems George Huber noted that any GPS system relies on the same kind of signal. However, the GPS system may produce inaccurate information due to the kind of differentially corrected signal received from satellites. The static test and the dynamic test can be used to verify the type of signal being received.
