Using Technology in Agriculture

I suggested a while back the use of cellphone cameras to document damage to crops because of natural disaster.  Here's an instance where UC-Davis has developed a smartphone app to link the GPS location to the digitized soils map.  I'm not sure how extensively this would be used: soils don't change that often so once you know the soil type present at a location, you don't need it again.  It is an example of some people keeping up with the times.
