We use SSToolbox in the office, Farmworks Sitemate/Guidemate (logging attributes), in the field as well as standalone data loggers from GreenSeeker, Crop Circle, RDS. Wish that SM would talk to all these transducers, but not necessarily so. Use SM to talk to the controller in the Loral (topdress N) Lanmanager to VR fert. We have Flexicoil 3450 VR tank, and will be setting it up by this fall to vary and log all 3 tanks. Right now, have to VR by hand, and supposedly have cables to log in SM, but didn't get it to work last fall - in a hurry and weren't VR for seed or P2O5 or K, but we're gonna have to do something this fall if these prices continue - what a wreck comin' down the pike.
On the accounting side - we use Quickbooks, and have found with "Pro" - only $200, one CAN do quantities with, I think it is items - we are cash basis, so we use non inventory items...
Used to use FBS for maybe 10 years, but just too much work to get correct allocations - we have 275 individually identifiable fields and actually have to do physical work in them => little time for accting work in them. We had some Farmworks accting software and played with it some, but never really really used it for an extended period to see if it would work.
Inertia has a lot to do with accting software - one continues to use what one is using - it is unconfortable to change, and one of our main reasons for changing is that our accting firm did - from FBS to QB. So that drove our decision. |
