News Office Field Ordering Support About Us



Pro takes your mapping to the next level.  Pro enhances your mapping experience with multi-year yield averaging (also known as yield normalization), profit mapping, and formulas for creating prescription maps.

 

With normalizing of yield data, multiple years can be averaged to discover consistently high and low yielding areas.  Users can select any combination of crop and/or year for the normalizing, excluding abnormal years, in order to visualize history zones in each field.

 

The profit mapping feature creates a layer for each crop enterprise year and integrates financial information with precision maps.  For example, a user can view a profit map based on seed variety and variable rate application maps, along with yield.  Costs can be manually entered for each input with the Trac and Site office software (programs that offer field records and mapping/GIS).  When the Funds module (an integrated grower-level accounting program) is used with Pro , "true" input costs from the checkbook will flow into the profit map.  This offers increased financial accuracy with significantly less work.  Pro makes it easy to find out what parts of your fields are making money and what precision farming practices are most profitable.  No other software in the industry compares to the profit mapping in Pro. 

 

Requirements:

  • Trac and Site
  • Microsoft Windows™ 2000 or higher (includes XP, Vista, and 7)
  • 128 MB Memory
  • 50 MB Hard Drive Space

Profit Mapping:

  • Creates a layer for each crop enterprise year and integrates financial information with precision maps.
  • The integration of Trac and Site (without Funds) allows users to assign values to the crops they are raising and costs to supplies, equipment and personnel.
  • The integration of Funds allows growers to use "true costs" on a profit map.
  • Flat Expense View - combines all field operations (also known as jobs) that were entered manually or without precision maps and creates a single layer.
  • Variable Expense View - combines all field operations (also known as jobs) with their precision maps and creates a single layer.
  • Income View - shows income values on a single layer by using a imported yield map.
  • Profit View - (Flat Expense + Variable Expense - Income) gives you a visual to see what parts of the field are making the most money and what precision farming practices are most profitable.
  • Variety View - displays seed variety locations on a single layer.

Yield Normalization:

  • Multiple years of yield maps can be averaged together to discover consistently high and low yielding areas of a field.
  • Select any combination of crop and/or year to produce yield zones.  As an example, you could have one normalized yield zone map for every crop year while having a separate zone map for all corn and another for all soybeans.
  • Automated legend assigns average yielding areas a value of "100" (below average yielding areas are less than 100 and above average yielding areas are over 100).
  • Calculated point size can be customized based on user preference.
