Farm Site Pro

Farm Site Pro takes the features of Farm Trac and Farm Site and adds a limitless number of clients so you can easily keep maps along with field and chemical records for your customers.

Farm Site Pro adds layers and GPS compatibility to Farm Trac. Real-world coordinates work to provide state-of-the-art positioning. Farm Site also supports a limitless number of layers, from soil types or soil tests, to last year's fields or next year's planting intentions. Farm Site works with all major yield monitors, and Farm Works is committed to supporting the widest possible range of equipment.

• Take Farm Trac maps one step further.  Draw your map with real world coordinates provided by a GPS receiver or other source.
• Drawing a field can be as easy as clicking on a button or driving around the field.
• Display street maps and other data that is available on the Internet or from the U.S. Geological Survey or a CD from Farm Works.
• The Calibrate program allows you to easily download images directly from the internet. Just type in a known coordinate on the map (or capture a coordinate from previously created maps such as government road & waterway maps) and the map will automatically be downloaded from the internet and will be calibrated with GPS. These maps will automatically line up with any other GPS maps that you have (including road & waterway maps).
• Have your field boundaries drawn automatically with Farm Site's auto draw feature and your yield data.
• Create any number of layers to analyze anything in, on , or under fields.
• Print full-color maps to any Windows^" compatible printer.  You may either print to a set scale or print the map as seen on the screen.
• Automatically grid any field to any grid size for soil sampling. This procedure will automatically create grid lines as well as the soil sampling points and can be used to automatically fill in the sample ID for each. Points can be created using several different grid patterns and all points can be moved or deleted. These points can be exported for use with Micro-Trak'sŪ Soil-Trak^" or with Farm Site Mate.
• Includes easy-to-use drawing tools.
• Use patterns, as well as colors, for your maps. Overlay layers to see how they relate to each other.
• Import yield data, including moisture, elevation, and any other data collected by all major yield monitors.
• Use Quick Yields to quickly import and see base, gridded, or contoured views of yield data.
• Create averaged, smoothed, or contoured views of any point data, including yield maps and soil tests. You have full control over settings that are used to grid or contour the data. Change the size of the grid on which averages are based, change the number of points used in smoothing calculations, or use the default values provided.
• Display averages based on areas from other layers. Find the average yields for each soil type or for a weed area or show the average pH within a certain soil type.
• Quickly and easily create and display legends. Use the statistical option to automatically create a legend based on the ranges of data that you are working with, or use the Equal Units feature to make your own legend. You have the flexibility to make your own legend the way you want. And, unlike many automatic legends, ours isn't fooled by a few erroneous yield points in your data.
• Import and export data in several formats including Arc View Shape files and ASCII delimited files.
• Use scanned images - as many or as few as you need. These images can be geo-referenced and scaled using your road and waterway maps. You can then trace field and soil type boundaries to produce accurate maps.
• Zoom in on any feature on a map, or see a bird's-eye view of the entire area. Quickly zoom to a certain farm or field with user defined zooms.
• Use the "Show Me" function to display only selected parts of any data. For example, show only areas with certain soil types, or only yields that fall within a selected range.
• Use the coordinate system that fits the job - Degrees, Degrees-Minutes, Degrees-Minutes-Seconds, State Plane, or UTM.
