Forget the old-fashioned Pocketbook…
Gathering accurate information is becoming one of the most important functions on every farm. Whether it’s the date you drilled the field, where and when you spread manure, or how and what you sprayed, accurate records are a must. For the contractor, it goes without saying that a record of the work done is vital, but cross compliance, ever tightening environmental regulations and demands for greater traceability are forcing more and more farmers to precisely document their work.
Making notes on every job you do could become a time consuming chore – unless you use GreenStar Field Doc. Utilizing either the original GreenStar or GreenStar 2 displays, in conjunction with the StarFire iTC receiver, Field Doc is a quick and user-friendly way to capture the valuable data you need. Operator and machine efficiency, tillage practices, fertilizer rates, crop varieties, plant populations, weather conditions and more can be recorded, to help you prove environmental compliance, invoice your customers and satisfy supermarket buyers.
