Dr. Bullock leads the Data Intensive Farm Management (DIFM) research team to improve the way the world fertilizes its crops. DIFM uses precision agriculture technology for large-scale agronomic field trials on farmers’ own fields, to generate “Big” agronomic data.  DIFM analyzes those data to find efficient means of reducing the loss of nitrogen fertilizer into the Mississippi River basin.
