This poster provides an overview of precision agriculture development in Canada.  It focuses on the specific practices of auto steer tracking and variable rate nutrient application in the prairie region.  The development of these practices has been largely driven by technology innovation and private sector crop consultants and equipment providers.  Nevertheless, academia and government have supported this development through research since the 1990’s and funding incentives to producers since 2005.  While auto steer is a more recent development than variable rate nutrient application, it has experienced much faster and widespread adoption.  The Agri-Environment Services Branch of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada is currently assessing key challenges and investigating potential opportunities for further development and adoption of these practices.
