Start improving your efficiency in the field with an array of ag guidance products from Leica Geosystems. Begin to increase yields with zone-tilling practices that allow you to plant precisely on top of tillage zones and reduce compaction by creating traffic lanes in your fields. Lower the number of passes needed for field operations by using every inch of your implements. Beyond the cropping benefits, Leica Geosystems' ag guidance products help reduce driver fatigue while producing precision-straight rows. Take pride in producing top-notch work with less stress.

Since gaining independence in June 1991, Slovenia has become a modern state and a member of the European Union. In 1993, the Farmland and Forest Fund of the Republic of Slovenia was established with the purpose of managing and disposing of farmland, farms, and forests owned by the Republic of Slovenia. The Leica Zeno GIS solution is used by the affiliated department "Geodesy Service" that represents the fund in different land surveying issues, in the surveying administrative proceedings, and in other administrative proceedings involving surveying and mapping services. more

Precise Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) are established tools for geodesy, but these heavenly helpers also come to the aid of farmers by enabling automatic steering systems. “Precision farming” describes giant tractors, combine harvesters, or other agricultural machinery steered by an invisible hand, humming along for miles on the wide-open fields of our planet. An image that doesn’t quite fit with the picture of small, mountainous Switzerland. But could these precision auto-steer systems also be used efficiently in a country where only about 24 per cent of the land is under cultivation, most of it hilly or steep? more

The River Nile has sustained life in North Africa for millennia, during which time Egypt has successfully tapped into this resource. But in the area of the headwaters of the Blue Nile, Ethiopia has lacked the infrastructure to harness the river’s potential. In order to redress this imbalance the Ministry of Water and Energy for the Republic of Ethiopia commissioned a feasibility study for 800 km² (198,000 acs) of net irrigation development in three schemes, which required a total study or search area of 1,700 km² (420,000 acs)in Ethiopia’s Nile basin. The project was funded by the World Bank and is being undertaken by UK based consultancy company Halcrow, who mapped the river catchment areas of Megech, Upper Beles and Negeso using Leica Geosystems GNSS equipment and stereo photogrammetry from satellite imagery. more

Ten years ago, RTK surveys typically involved two GPS receivers (a base and a rover), a lot of batteries and cables, two radios, a tripod, a pole, and a backpack to carry it all. Today users can choose between a GPS or a GNSS receiver, and a radio or a mobile phone, and it all fits on the pole. With the establishment of RTK networks, they can also choose to work with an RTK rover within these networks instead of setting up their own base-station. Leica Geosystems SmartNet gives users easy access to precise Network RTK data, where they experience the best availability, reliability, and traceability using internationally recognized standards, combined with flexible and affordable subscription options that meet the needs of the local market. more

The Baumburg Summer of Culture opened in August 2010 with a special attraction: the largest cornfield maze in Bavaria. The local monastery brewery wished to offer its guests a rich and varied program in and around the labyrinth, including games, concerts, night walks, corn candlelight dinners, and helicopter tours. But how do you create a pattern in a 113,000 m² (28 acs) field of tall cornstalks? The event organizer, Muk Heigl, turned to the engineers at ing Traunreut GmbH; using positioning technology from Leica Geosystems, they mastered this far-from-everyday task. more

The economical benefits of perfectly levelled fields are enormous, especially in India. For instance, a levelled field results in substantial watersavings and an increase in yield and product quality. Rotating lasers have become essential tools for agricultural applications. They make faster work of many jobs, while eliminating costly errors for precise levelling. Once considered “nice to have,” today they are a competitive “must have” to get the job done efficiently and precisely. more

The Leica Geosystems line of auto-section controllers are designed to work with most GPS receivers and then connect to a wide range of spray rate controllers and planting systems. With auto-section technology, efficiency is gained by removing the guesswork associated with switching sections ON or OFF. This directly contributes to more precise application of chemicals and placement of crops resulting in healthier crops and a more profitable business. more

In Ancient Greece, the concepts of art and technology were not yet separated. The term “tekhnae” stood for technology, art, crafts and handiwork. On another continent, and long before our epoch, a completely different culture, the Nazcas, laid down huge lines in the Peruvian highlands, the true extent of which is only revealed from the air. In
present time, the year 2003 was the bicentennial anniversary of canton of St. Gallen – which includes the Alpine Rhine Valley where Leica Geosystems’ Swiss headquarters are located. This was the setting for 13 gigantic crop images, which sprouted and changed their appearance with the course of growth: LandArte. more

The Leica ADS40 Airborne Digital Sensor was used to acquire data of 90,000 square miles of agricultural land in Nebraska in the largest digital ortho project ever completed. The data is being used for farmland monitoring and management purposes by NAIP, a USDA-sponsored program. more

“One of the reasons the GS50 was chosen is because it is the only receiver that works efficiently under tree canopy, along field boundaries, or even inside forests. This is due to Leica's MaxTrakTM algorithms that allow the receiver to track the maximum number of available satellites under tree canopy.” more

“After creating a codelist, we used the Leica GS50 receiver to collect all the feedlot data. When we first started, we had a lot of questions, and Leica provided us with training and technical support.When we have questions, the turnaround time for technical support has been very fast, which is great, and very helpful for us.” more
