Abstract
Many corn producers are purchasing on-the-go yield monitors and global positioning systems to enable mapping of yields within their fields. The underlying assumption is that the benefits of information generated will more than offset the costs of making the maps. The benefits expected usually include increases in yields and( or) decreases in expenditures for fertilizers.
