John P. Fulton works on precision agriculture engineering, studying and improving the machinery and technology farmers use to plant seeds, apply fertilizer and pesticides, and manage crop fields more accurately and efficiently. His work covers equipment performance (like seed meters, spreaders, and sprayers), sensor-based monitoring, and how digital tools and data can support better crop management decisions. Students interested in agricultural machinery design, sensors, and data-driven farming would find relevant work here.
