A new app includes two calculators that help farmers plan for their next crop. One helps users determine whether the yield benefits of various input combinations justify the costs. The other uses the main maturity rates for a farmer’s region, the cost of soybean seed and an estimated price of the soybeans at the time of sale to determine an optimal seeding rate based on a % of return.
It allows for land surveying simply by walking or driving around the border field. It’ll use the iPhone’s GPS function to track the border and compute the area. The areas can also be exported as GPX files and sent to the computer via email.
Features customizable local weather applications, including an app where growers can access soil moisture conditions, precipitation reports, forecasts, wind speed and direction.
