Farming Phone Apps to Boost Productivity
As a farmer, you work hard every day to make sure that every task that needs doing, from watering crops to attending to your livestock, gets done. In the 21st century, you have a whole wealth of farming equipment that helps you to do those things faster and easier than ever before. But you’ve got another tool that’s actually in your pocket: your smartphone. There are a number of apps you can download that will help you with your farmwork even more! So what are they?
FMI Equipment in Spokane Valley is your eastern Washington farm equipment dealer, serving Spokane and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Here are some helpful phone apps you can download to your smartphone to use as a way to increase your farm’s productivity and reduce downtime or waste.
Apps by Manufacturers
Many farm equipment manufacturers offer a variety of apps you can download for your equipment. These apps might offer anything from digital copies of owner’s manuals to sales, offers, FAQs and even service updates. These apps will help you get more out of your equipment and get in touch with the manufacturer if you're having problems.
Weather Updates
It’s always important to know what the weather forecast is like when you’re farming, no matter the season. A typical weather app can only be so helpful to you, though, because it will provide very general information. Downloading a weather app designed specifically for farmers will help you to determine really essential info like predictions for rain, first and last frost dates and other weather data that is helpful to you.
Grower’s Edge
This really popular farming app has become more popular recently, as it’s got a wealth of information related to various farming issues, including commentary on the market, reports of drought or rain, general agriculture news and commodity quotes.
Organization
Keeping tabs on every piece of information you have to know can be a real challenge, but there are apps that will help you to get rid of your notebooks and complicated spreadsheets. Look into chore-management apps, to-do list apps and apps that can keep tabs on what tasks you’ve performed and what you still need to do. Having a notebook can be nice, but it’s also cumbersome and not nearly as easy as opening an app on your phone to quickly update some numbers.
