Steve comes from a
farming background. Growing up in Southeast Missouri, he and his family
have grown rice, soybeans, cotton, wheat, corn, and milo.
In the early 1970's,
he started farming his own land and leased more in the Poplar Bluff,
Missouri area. He began using a transit to mark his own rice levees.
After grading his own fields, he then started custom land grading for
other area farmers.
In 1981, Steve began
doing custom work, using a laser and 4' analog mounted on a tractor to
mark levees and take elevation readings for cutsheets in the Poplar
Bluff area.
By 1996, Steve
upgraded to precision ag equipment including a 6' analog, laser, control
box and laptop computer to design farms utilizing GPS technology The
Spring of 2001 he started using RTK GPS positioning equipment. This now
allows him Centimeter Accuracy in elevation at greater distances than
possible with a laser.
His experience includes contracts with the Tennessee Wildlife Restoration
Agency and Missouri Department of Conservation in contour marking and
mapping over 2500 acres for several reforestation and waterfowl restoration
projects.
