A GIS can be used to help manage farm resources such as the number of acres in crops, timber, or water. You can use the GIS to determine crop yields, establish crop rotation plans, and calculate yearly soil loss using different planting, cultivation, or harvesting techniques.

These examples show a wide range of different applications for a given farm.

You can use a GIS to help monitor and manage irrigation of agricultural lands. A GIS can help monitor a system's capacity, its valves, its efficiency, and the overall distribution of water within the system.

This example shows different irrigation districts and the type of agricultural products they supply (e.g., orchards, vineyards).
