Remote sensing is an essential tool for precision agriculture, allowing producers and crop consultants to monitor spatial and temporal variability in soil properties, crop growth, and crop stress from nutrients, weeds, disease, insects, or water. During the last decade, the number and capabilities of multispectral satellite remote‐sensing products have increased dramatically. This article provides an overview of some of the trends in satellite remote sensing for precision agriculture.
