Farm Works will work great for you, as will other programs, as long as you make a committment to learning and using it. It is just another tool that needs to be understood and used frequently in order to obtain its full potential for your needs. Educate yourself well in using the computer and the software and you should have no problems.
I have been using Farm Works software for 15 years now and get along with it just fine. The thing that stands out with the software for me is the integration the modules have with each other within the complete package. Plus its ability to read in and write to several different platforms when keeping track of field data.
Its strongest ability for me is the integration between record keeping and accounting. Costs and revenues are all tied to just exactly what is going on in the field, plus its ability to create enterprise statements for any number of scenerios one may want to keep track of. Whether it is farm level, field, acre, machine, person, it all depends on how much detail you want.
Future needs are a must when considering software packages, as well as any tools we may need in order to keep our operations efficient. Educate yourself with whatever you choose while also looking to the future.
