Farm Works Adds New Products

Farm Works Information Management, a division of Trimble, announced three new products for growers and agribusinesses.

Farm Works Mobile streamlines data management in the field by bundling record keeping, scouting, soil sampling, and variable rate application into one solution. Field records include application dates, hybrid locations, field and weather conditions, scale tickets, and notes.

In addition, users can take advantage of GPS to record soil sampling positions (by grid or zone) and easily navigate to any spot using a 3D display. Farm Works Mobile connects to existing controllers to perform variable rate application using single or multiple products. The software will also connect to most sensors for recording “as-applied” data which can be downloaded in the Farm Works office suite or other third party desktop software.

The Farm Works Mobile software will operate on any field computer with Windows Mobile, XP, Vista, or 7. When using field computers with built in digital cameras for scouting, such as the Trimble Juno or Nomad handhelds, images of weeds or pests can be captured while geo referencing their location in one step. Farm Works Mobile retails for $500USD.
