In-Field Software:

FarmWorks Mobile:

Farm Works® Mobile software streamlines data management in the field by bundling record keeping, mapping, scouting, soil sampling, and variable rate application into one solution. Mobile operates on any field computer with Windows Mobile®, Windows® XP, Windows Vista®, or Windows 7.

Data entry for field records can work independently or in conjunction with a GPS receiver to track planting dates, chemical and fertilizer usage, scale tickets, hybrid/variety location, weather, and more. Viewing history of past hybrids, chemical applications, tillage practices, and yield is simple and efficient. Large buttons for fingers are available for easy navigation and the interface accommodates small screen displays.

Utilizing GPS for field mapping is also possible with Mobile. Map field boundaries, sampling zones, rocks, pivots, broken drainage tile, no spray zones, and other points of interest. Capture scouting attributes such as weed and insect types, notes, tile diameter, and images from a digital camera.

Mobile is flexible enough to handle soil sampling by grid or by management zones. Use the navigational line to automatically connect the target points in the order they are numbered. Navigate to any point of interest using the compass or a 3D view of the map.

Mobile will connect to single or multi-product variable rate controllers that communicate via a serial cable (see the Controller tab for a list of supported controllers). All files easily download into the Farm Works office or convert into a "Arc ViewShape File" for flexible data exchange with other mapping software. It will also connect to sensors for recording yield, electro-magnetic and conductivity, light reflectance, “as-applied”, and other data which can be downloaded in the Farm Works office suite or other third party desktop software.
