Production Records Pay Off
Good production records can add value to your farmland, says Jim Farrell, vice president of marketing for Farmers National Company. A pair of Iowa farms auctioned the same day by Farmers National make a striking example.
The two operations were a half-mile apart in Calhoun County. They were similar in size (86 and 83 acres), and the corn suitability rating was the same for both, at 81. But one farm had 12 or 13 years of detailed production data, including yield history, soil tests and tile records, while the other listing, which had been cash rented by an absentee landlord, had next to nothing.
The well-documented farm sold for $700 per acre more than the other. “At least a portion of that value difference came from the records,” Farrell says.
Nebraska Farmer
Being able to collect all of the data while in the field helps improve my relationship with my landlords. They love for me to bring the maps of their fields and show them what I have done. I show them I am doing the right things for their farm. The data collection is very critical for proper seed/hybrid selection.
Wisconsin Farmer
Being able to document everything I do in my field is very important. I am under the eye of many city folks who would like to shut down the application of fertilizer/chemicals. Being able to prove on a map what I do will help me continue to farm. I know it will become more and more important to have these types of records and I know that government regulations will continue to increase, so I want to be ahead of the curve and be able to prove I am doing the right thing on my farm.
Indiana Farmer
Record keeping in detail is very important to my operation today. It will only become more important in the future. I like tools to create profit/loss maps off of my yield data as it affects my bottom line.
Nebraska Farmer
Prescription Planting Pays. Being able to document more and more field operations will only add to my bottom line. Data collected today usually becomes more valuable over time. If you do not start collecting data today you will not have it tomorrow. You will never know how much you have missed out on and what it cost you if you do not start today.
Illinois Farmer/Custom Applicator
Being able to simplify and improve the record keeping process in JDOffice for my custom spraying business is huge. I love the detailed accurate reports for my customers. The reports are very important and will add to my bottom line and my customers.
Iowa Farmer/Custom Applicator
Any help in my record keeping ability is very important to my operation. The more detailed reports I can create, the better. Printouts; with detailed application records is desperately needed for my business. Being able to automate this part is extremely helpful to me. Since we must meet state and federal requirements, the more information on the reports, the better.
