File:LIDAR field yield.jpg

LIDAR is a type of remote sensing that uses lasers to send beams down to the objects on earth to measure different things such as distance and can sense different types of objects. In the image above it shows how LIDAR is used in agriculture. LIDAR technology can actually analyze an area of crops and determine the areas of better soil for wha they are growing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:LIDAR_field_yield.jpg
