Aerial imagery: - 1m spatial resolution- 4 bands (RGB, NIR)- collected Aug. 2011
Create shapefiles of plots in ArcMap:GPS points (10-70 cm accuracy)Projected to NAD 83 UTM Zone 15N
Change image band order:Originally IR R G B, changed to B G R IR in ArcMap
Calculate vegetation Indices:Create AOI for plotsUse signature editor to average pixel values for plots.

Conclusions
• Farmers could use aerial imagery to determine whether N fertilizer treatments affected corn yield.
• This would make it easy for farmers to conduct their own research.
• More fields and correlations are needed to validate this conclusion.
Future work: More fields, larger plots, Tassel cap transformations, online tools
