The input attribute is collected and the geographic position occupied by a machine for applying materials to the area is measured. The input attribute and the geographic position are transmitted to a central system and associated with a zone including the geographic position at which the input attribute was collected. The zone is stored along with its associated input 10 attribute. As the crop is harvested, the geographic position occupied by the harvesting machine is measured. The measured position of the harvesting machine is compared with the stored zone. If the position of the harvesting machine is determined to be in the stored zone, the input attribute associated with the zone is supplied to the operator of the harvesting machine.1/3 100 COLLECT INPUT A TTRIBUTE 102 IN TILLABLE AREA BEFORE CROP IS HARVESTED 1104 MEASURE FIRST POSITION WHEN INPUT ATTRIBUTE IS COLLECTED 106 ASSOCIATE INPUT ATTRIBUTE WITH ZONE INCLUDING FIRST POSITION 108 STORE ZONE AND INPUT ATTRIBUTE 110 MEASURE SECOND POSITION WHILE HARVESTING CROP 112 COMPARE SECOND POSITION .WITH ZONE 114 PROVIDE STORED INPUT ATTRIBUTE WHEN SECOND] POSITION IS IN ZONE FIG. 1
