Soil carbon sequestration is an important piece of the climate-change mitigation puzzle since almost 45 percent of global soil is used for agricultural purposes, and soil can store about 2.3 times the amount of carbon compared to the carbon in atmospheric CO2 and 3.5 times more than in living plants. EarthOptics has launched the Soil Carbon Project to accurately measure and display on qualifying climate-smart product packaging the amount of carbon removed from the atmosphere and stored in the soil where the agricultural ingredients were harvested.

Trimble has made significant improvements to its Trimble CenterPoint RTX correction service to give farmers both the ease of use of the satellite-delivered corrections and RTK horizontal performance in less time. With improved convergence of up to 75%, farmers using the Trimble NAV-900 controller for machine guidance applications can now begin working in the field with 2.5 centimeter accuracy in less than 5 minutes.
