Are you looking for software that doesn't require you to be a computer genius to use? Ag Leader's SMS Basic is exactly what you are looking for. Whether you are just getting your feet wet in precision farming or have been collecting data for years, SMS Basic has something for you.

SMS Basic has quickly become known as the most simple and easy-to-use software available today for managing, viewing, (including layering) printing and editing data. With features such as Spatial Sorting, Batch Processing, TerraServer Download, Device Setup Utility, and Split Planter Map Creation, SMS Basic combines ease-of-use with the power to get results from your precision farming data.

SMS Advanced couples the tremendous ease of use of SMS Basic with power that will rival or exceed any software currently on the market. Features such as expanded Batch Processing, Project Schemes, and Integrated 3D Mapping, and powerful analysis functions including Attribute Comparisons, Equation Writing, Multi-Year Averaging, NDVI Data Creation, and Profit/Loss Mapping, SMS Advanced provides the tools to get results from your data. Such Innovation has never before been seen at such an economical price.

Ag Leader is pleased to announce an exciting new product called SMS Mobile. SMS Mobile allows in-field documentation that will help record information about the details of your crop. You will then be able to use this data before, during and after the growing season to make better decisions.

SMS Mobile has been developed from the ground up by Ag Leader. SMS Mobile works seamlessly with SMS Basic and SMS Advanced and takes many of the great features and puts them into a package that can be used “in the field”.

Modes of Operation for SMS Mobile

• Boundary Mode – Records field outlines and area in each field.
• General Logging Mode – Create and edit point, line, and polygon datasets. Example of polygon datasets include observation sites for crop scouting functions, tile lines and management zones.
• Coverage Mode – Continuously logs and records data for any operation providing an area covered. For example recording the placement of different hybrids within your fields.
• Soil Sampling Mode – Creates and/or navigates to each area to pull soil samples.

Integrated yet Flexible

SMS mobile was designed to work seamlessly with the SMS desktop packages but also allows flexibility if users choose to use a different desktop solution.

SMS Mobile has complete integration with SMS desktop packages. Field names, field boundaries, backgrounds (aerial photography, soil maps, and yield maps) and many other items can be transferred from SMS Basic or SMS Advanced. This assures efficient work out in the field and accurate information is passed back to SMS Basic or SMS Advanced.

SMS Mobile can also be configured in the field without using desktop software. SMS Mobile can directly export all logged data in a shape file format for use in other software applications.

Automatic Field Selection

When GPS is used, SMS Mobile will automatically prompt the user with the correct field and other management information based on the current location. Thus when moving from field to field SMS Mobile will help select correct field names & management information.
