Dear [First Name],

I am writing because you previously joined the Precision Ag Council of AgGateway.  We haven’t seen you in a while and wanted to follow up to gauge your interest in the initiatives we have going on in the PAC.

Following are some of the efforts currently underway:

·        Water Management Working Group – defining a format for irrigation observations and operations data exchange

·        Telematics and Asset Management Working Group – defining data requirements and identify a suitable standard for fixed and mobile agricultural asset management

·        Insurance, Regulatory and Government Relations Working Group –

·        Remote Sensing Working Group – establishing a minimum set of required data that images should contain for FMIS consumption

·        Field Operations Working Group – defining standards for data exchange related to core documents for field operations

·        CART POC –

·        ADAPT – implementing a data format conversion framework with an open-source common object model for field operations

·        Traceability –

Participating provides you with an opportunity to help drive the direction and outcome of these efforts.  If you are interested in learning more about any of these initiatives, please let me know and I would be happy to setup a time for us to discuss.  In the meantime, you can learn more at http://www.aggateway.org/eConnectivityActivities/Councils/PrecisionAg.aspx
