Farmers can now use smart phones and computers to monitor and modify what nutrients they add to their soil, thanks to the new computer app created by a University of Vermont researcher. More than 50 Vermont farmers are now using goCrop, created with help from $400,000 grant, and farmers in other states are about to take advantage of the new tool. (AP Photo/Toby Talbot)
