      abstract = {We analyzed data obtained from the 2009 Southern Cotton  Precision Farming
Survey of farmers in twelve states  (Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,
Missouri,  Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee,  Texas, and Virginia) to identify reasons for  adoption/nonadoption of precision farming technologies.  Farmers provided cost, time constraint, satisfaction with  the current practice
and other as reasons for not adopting  precision farming technology. Profit, environmental benefit  and to be at the forefront of agricultural technology are  main reasons
for adopting precision farming technology.  Results from a nested logit model indicated that formal  education, farm size, and number of precision farming  meeting
attend by farmers have positive effect on adoption  of PF technologies. Moreover,
spatial yield variability  increases probability of adopting precision farming  technologies for profit reasons.},
