[QUOTE="Midnight plough boy, post: 9171582, member: 12071"] I never really saw the true value of my own data until I started using Omnia. The benefit of storing it all on one platform which has a massive capability such being able to overlay different data sets to manipulate variable rate drilling maps, or inputting variable costs and machinery operations and using yield maps and output values to produce cost of production maps has yielded massive benefits when drawing up my SFI application. Now make me certain about which areas to put into options, and which areas to continue farming. This will definitely raise farm average yields significantly by taking out the poor performing, loss-making areas. That said, you have had multiple requests from different clients, presumably to transfer their data to them (possibly requested by a third party technician) to be put onto a number of different digital platforms. As a contractor, if you charge a price per hectare for combining with a yield mapping enabled machine, it would be reasonable to charge the client extra to provide the maps if it isn’t specified as part of the contracting package. But it is a sticky one as it’s ultimately their data, so drilling down, probably an admin fee would be better than a yield mapping charge? Likewise, your friend’s soil samples have been commissioned and paid for by the client. If results have been provided to them once, potentially on paper rather than digitally, then again I don’t see it as unfair to charge an admin fee to resend. BUT: If you’re computer savvy and it’s a few mouse clicks to transfer this data, don’t over charge. People won’t take kindly to being charged through the nose for their own data. There is at least one thread on this forum at the moment where a lot of the content is basically complaints regarding the agricultural services industries making too much margin from farmers.
