With NCAA basketball now in full swing, you’ve likely heard about the “points per possession” measurement of a team’s offensive performance. It’s used by coaches whose style is to methodically work a game plan for the highest-odds scoring opportunity.

Hello from a buried office desk. Haven't been in office much over the last 3 weeks, as I've been on the road in Minnesota and North Dakota and then at the Farm Equipment Manufacturers Assn.

As more producers use new technology in precision agriculture, they will be gathering increasing amounts of machine and production data. In the past, they had to download the data on a memory card or a USB flash drive and then transfer the data to a computer in the farm office or at home.
