Zusammenfassung:	The system has a control unit (18) mounted on the cab of a tractor that receives input data including wind speed and wind direction from a mobile weather station (20). The control unit with a set of instructions or algorithms generates an output data to facilitate steering of the tractor and attached sprayer (12) by a standard navigational aid system through the field to provide spray overlap pattern. An Independent claim is also included for a method of automatically compensating wind-drift during spraying by an agricultural sprayer.
