N2  - Precision agriculture (PA) and information technology (IT) are closely
interwoven. The former usually refers to the application of nowadays'
technology to agriculture. Due to the use of sensors and GPS technology, in
today's agriculture many data are collected. Making use of those data via IT
often leads to dramatic improvements in efficiency. For this purpose, the
challenge is to change these raw data into useful information.  Techniques or
methods are required which use those data to their full extent -- clearly being
a data mining task.  This paper presents experimental results on real and
recent agriculture data that aid in the first part of the data mining process:
understanding and visualizing the data. Self-organizing maps and multidimensional scaling
techniques will be used to reduce the high-dimensional input data to two dimensions.
The processed data can then be visualized appropriately on 2D maps. An analysis
of correlations and interdependencies in the data set will be given, based on the
visualization.
