Crop recording app?

[David.]

I'm sorry I don't know what they are.
It will allow you to print a report showing individual fields, and each individual application, date, rate,
etc.

It doesn't look like it does any nvz compliance reports. Shame.

Field margin, dead simple and dead cheap, doesn’t do what some can but does all you need really ……… and doesn’t flog your data

phone or ipad app web browser on a pc or mac, monthly subscription so might as well try it and dump it if you don’t like it

ps - no one is paying me to post the above, I just quite like its simplicity and honesty

I started using Field Margin after harvest last year and the support team are very helpful. They are open to suggestions of new features and I've suggested integrating a spray stock feature with spray records would be beneficial. Do you already do this Clive?

It is possible to do this on the program by creating a data recording site located at the store and basically creating a custom spreadsheet with all the necessary info. This can then be updated manually after each application e.g. Start with 100 L product in store, apply 20 L, enter -20 in the amount column and it would update the total amount - displayed in graph or table. But as yet this won't update automatically direct from the application page.

I'm a new user so not sure how it will perform at whole farm scale and with team members - about to find out.

One thing I like is the ability to take photos and store within the app, alongside field operations. Especially useful for stewardship records.

No experience of the other programs so can't compare, other than it being cheaper than the two most popular ones

I really like its simplicity - thats WHY it works at farm and team scale

Not doing stock (even in a basic way) is it's biggest problem so we currently use a spreadsheet for that

Can an agronomist upload a plan to it via other systems or do they have to do it via the app?

Wondering this myself - I assume they/we would have to use the desktop version and enter it manually rather than uploading in another format.

Clive, how do you manage spray recs with Field Margin? Thanks in advance

With field margins we set up a job add fields and inputs if spraying it adds mapp no and you add the amount per ha
