FARMserver Update: Integrations in FARMserver and Tractor Monitor Resources

Do you ever wish your fields could talk to you? Well, with FARMserver’s Crop Growth Model that stages your crops and sends you in-season alerts, now they can! Take advantage of the “Integrations” in FARMserver to ensure that your planting data flows in and triggers your account to send in-season alerts relative to each growth stage. Making sure the “Integration” with your MyJohnDeere, FieldView, AgFiniti, AFS Connect, AGCO, or Slingshot account is set up before planting is imperative to ensure your data from 2022 imports into FARMserver without you ever having to touch a button.

If you don’t have an integration […]

FARMserver Updates: New Notification Options

Springtime is here, and planters are going to be rolling soon! While we know you’re busy with equipment preparations, we wanted to remind you about some software preparations as well.

Have you heard about our new Notification options in FARMserver? 

Last summer, we rolled out the Growth Stage Model in FARMserver, and it was met with overwhelmingly positive feedback. Using the daily weather data that FARMserver automatically collects for each field, along with the planting date and relative maturity of your crop, FARMserver predicts the growth stage throughout the year. As conditions change, the Growth Stage changes too. It indicates the date […]

FARMserver Updates: Post-Harvest Reporting

As harvest comes to an end, having the ability to explore how certain fields, products, and practices performed are all great reasons for entering your data into FARMserver. Uploading your data is as easy as pulling it from your monitor, zipping the file, and uploading it to www.farmserver.com. If you have your account sent up to send data through a wireless integration, you will be able to jump right to the “Reports” section of FARMserver.

Depending on the data you have uploaded, an array of reports will be available. Here are a few examples:

Capturing Yield Data in FARMserver

Harvest season is here, and combines are in full swing! We know this is a busy time of year, and we pray you are finding positive yields across all your acres. Since yield data is what we use to evaluate management decisions over the year, we wanted to offer up a few reminders concerning yields in FARMserver.

Good data in means good data out, and we always encourage harvest monitor calibration for each crop at least once during the season. We also know moisture changes can affect calibration, so as a reminder, post-calibration at the field level is available in FARMserver! […]

At this point in the growing season, crops are out of the ground and growing well. Planting, fertilizer, and spray data has been downloaded from the monitors and uploaded to FARMserver for recordkeeping. The morning coffee routine involves watching the BAM weather video and checking the Growth Stage Summary on your FARMserver Dashboard. If you haven’t done so already, it’s time to update that FARMserver App and scout some fields!

FARMserver has dedicated scouting features in both the website and the iOS app. On the website, jump in the Field Focus view for any field in your account to add (+) […]

Planting (and some replanting) is complete, and it’s time to make some important in-season decisions for your crop! And because FARMserver stores all your planting data, you can now put that data to work. If you don’t have a planting monitor, you can manually add your planting date and relative maturity data for each field into your account.

Once you have your planting data into FARMserver, the new Crop Growth Model will track the progress of your crop, field by field! You will see what growth stage each of your fields is at based on planting date, maturity, and how many […]

Drone Success Tips

As spring approaches many growers find themselves preparing equipment for a fast-paced planting season.  One piece of equipment that is often overlooked is their drone.  Nothing is more frustrating than to need data, drive to the field, open the case and find a drone that will not function.  Below are some tips for successful drone operation.
