High‐precision agriculture can minimize unwanted accumulation or migration of input residues, can save money, and can avoid interactions which would decrease yields. High precision has meanings beyond the quantity of an input. It includes correct placement in the soil or on or in the plant, it includes timing of the input, it includes relationships with other inputs to create proper balances, it includes correctly leveling, draining and contouring the land, and much more. High precision directly and indirectly has or can have beneficial effects on the environment. High‐precision agriculture can make it possible to produce necessary food and fiber on much less land than is currently being used. High precision is a procedure to give maximum economic yields.
