FARMserver – New Release

Field Analytics on MapView

This feature will allow the customer/dealer/salesperson to view yield information on screen without having to print yield maps and summaries. This feature will give you (by crop) Yield by Field, Yield by Hybrid, Yield by Soil Type, Total Bushels, Avg Moisture and Average Seed Rate. This yield information changes, depending on what fields you have selected. So if you have 5 out of 25 fields selected, all of the averages are for the 5 you have selected. If you do not select anything, it will give you yield information for the entire operation. (The MapView image example to […]

Get Your Scout On

Now that that planting season is winding down in the majority of the territory, it is time to get out in the field see how the crop is progressing. Field scouting should be at the forefront of all of our minds. Let’s just see how well the planter planted, what kind of weed pressure we have, and what kind of stand do we have in the field. Over the past few weeks, we have released several new and exciting tools to our FARMserver scouting app to help farmers be more efficient with their time in the field. Everything we build […]

Trusted Advisors and the Sharing Feature

Many of us have a go-to person for agronomic advice. A “Trusted Advisor,” if you will. It may be our local seed dealer. It may be an agronomist. When we call them for advice, we generally have to give them a story about the where, what, when and how of our question. FARMserver recognizes the value of Trusted Advisors and have created a feature in the website just for that.

The Sharing Feature in FARMserver is designed to efficiently flow information between you and that Trusted Advisor. As an account owner, you have the opportunity to grant a Trusted Advisor access […]

Breaking Down Seed Selection

Planning for a new crop includes choosing the correct corn hybrid and soybean variety for your fields. To help with this process, Beck’s worked with the Product Team to develop the Seed Selection Tool as part of the FARMserver software.

The Seed Selection Tool is not an ordinary product placement tool. Using the heavily researched NRCS soil database, the Seed Selection Tool starts by narrowing down the broad range of products to determine the right hybrid for your soil type. From the clay knobs to hot sand, the Seed Selection Tool knows what product will work best in your […]

Wireless Data Transfer is Live

First it was the PCMCIA card, then the CF card and currently, many of us carry USB drives in our pockets. Now, just in time for 2018 planting, you can connect your MyJohnDeere, Raven SlingShot, and/or Climate FieldView Plus accounts directly with your FARMserver account! Once you have an established link through the Data Connections tab in FARMserver, application, planting, and harvest data will flow seamlessly from your tractor or combine to FARMserver every night. This means that if you are planting or harvesting today, all the data you collected will show up in FARMserver tomorrow. This also means if […]

Spring Fever? We Have Your Prescription

A lot of new and exciting technologies hit the agricultural industry this winter, from the See & Spray technology to self-propelled planters!

Some of the ways we do that is through our Practical Farm Research (PFR) program and also FARMserver, our web-based application that allows farmers to collect and analyze data, write variable prescriptions, and build a wide variety of reports.
