I will say this, I went from mixing 3 acres to ensure my greens got complete coverage and using up whats left on collars and walking paths to mixing 2 acres and just spraying my greens.
But the truth is you most likely will not save money because you will use the extra funds to improve your spraying programs. I made it a point to push using less chemicals in my spray apps due to precise applications so I never get double spray even by a new applicator. I then pushed that the chemcials I used less of will allow me to shift those funds into a better spray app for other issues.
I feel its never a good idea to let your supervisors think they will be able to cut your budget because your adding a GPS unit. Better to convice them that its better for the enviorment and will allow you to make more weed control or fungicide applications or even a better fertilizer program with those savings.
