Oncecost-prohibitiveforlarge-scalestatisticaldatacollection,geospatialtechnologiesarebecomingincreasinglycommonplace,efficient,andaccessibleinofficialstatistics.Consumer-gradeequipmentisnowmorecapable

Thismethodassumesfarmershaveaccurateknowledgeofthesizeoftheirland.Thisknowledgeistypicallybasedoninformationfromformallandtitlesordeeds,providingofficialdocumentationofprecisemeasurementsofthe
