Between Omaha and Des Moines, 7 miles South of I80

I did some WAAS boundaries and waterways, this afternoon.(Remember, I'm new to all this GPS stuff)

Nice to have a map, AND to see how much difference in acreage, between "government acres" and GPS acres.(generally, 1-3 acres difference= fields 7- 62 acres)


I did spread a little dry fertilizer, this morning, and it seems to take the signal a little while to get "lined up". (note: I counted corn rows, so I knew I was really close(within a foot), but seems I had to drive 100-150 ft, before WAAS decided it was acceptable(GPS lightbar, on Integra) At first, those initial 70-100 ft, It would tell me I was 7-9 feet off. 


Not sure, how well this is going to work, on Spring burndown spraying. I have 4 more loads, of dry fertilizer to do, so I will try and monitor, this signal, some more; I may even hesitate a little more, on headlands, too. (was only doing about 4 mph, on my turns, this morning)
