Trimble is adding a Variable Rate Application (VRA) option for its AgGPS EZ-Guide 500 lightbar guidance system. The VRA capability provides site-specific application control allowing farmers to apply inputs such as fertilizer, anhydrous ammonia (NH3), and seed only where it's needed and at the rate needed to reduce costs and improve agriculture operations.

The VRA option is only available for the EZ-Guide 500 lightbar system. Entry cost for the optional VRA capability is $2,995 for the EZ-Guide 500 plus $750 for the VRA option for a total cost of $3,745. The VRA option is expected to be available in March 2009.
