Two of the new technologies that have brought many new jobs in the agricultural industry are Global Positioning System (GPS) and biotechnology. The GPS really has the ability for farmers to seed and get in their crops in the best possible way. The biotechnology field has really allowed better and safer fertilizers (肥料) to be used on crops. Biotechnology has also helped farmers to better understand what helps to make their crops better. Both of these new technologies are very interesting and offer many new opportunities. The agricultural industry still needs quite a bit of hard work to bring in a good crop, but now many people can take advantage of these improvements to make the industry a much better experience. 1．Whats the main idea of the passage?
