For today’s farmers, efficiency is the name of the game, and to get the best results from your agricultural value chain, no matter what your crop is, a farming app that focuses on sustainability can help you improve your bottom line. There are many mobile farming apps on the market today to choose from, but you can find the right one for your needs by considering a few criteria.
What to look for
Farms are, of course, often in remote locations, so you need an app that can function even without a strong signal, or it’s useless. Furthermore, you need an app that can be used in situations where you’re just managing one field or if you’re managing hundreds because the scale of your operation is likely to change over time. The best farming apps work with GPS to carefully use every inch of your field space in its calculations, estimates and projections.
When it comes to the business side of buying and selling your products, make sure that the app is synchronized with the markets in near real-time so that you have the information you need to make the best decisions. Also, see what other farmers have said about the accuracy of the app’s forecasting.
