Matt Hopkins on his annual column “top apps for agriculture” made a list to keep us informed regarding the latest trends in digital farming. Here are his top 10 agriculture apps for 2019:

1.AGBRIDGE (update)

     The AGBRIDGE mobile app allows users to move data from their in-cab field computer (Trimble, AgLeader, Raven, CASEIH, John Deere) to their cloud account and desktop when paired with an AGBRIDGE Drive. A couple of new features have been introduced recently. The new WiFi Direct feature automatically sends and receives new files anytime a machine is in range of a trusted WiFi network, or a mobile WiFi Hotspot. Also, as-applied maps are now available to view and share right from the AGBRIDGE mobile app, providing immediate feedback minutes after agbridging.

2. Agrellus

     Agrellus is an online marketplace that brings together buyers and sellers of agricultural inputs and commodities. Founded by unaffiliated growers and ag retailers with more than 50 years of agriculture experience, Agrellus is a solution to buy and sell more than 7,000 agriculture products. Find the right products in the quantities you need. Request quotes from multiple dealers competing for your business. Set delivery deadlines that meets your farming needs. Agrellus has also added aerial and ground custom application services to the app. Members can customize requests by crop; choose targets like insect, weed, seeding, or defoliation; select rate per acre; or get advice on correct rates or best product for their needs.



3. RRXtend Spray App

     RRXtend Spray App helps you plan sprays more effectively by providing weather forecasts including inversion risk probability and the ability to create and retain application records. A Forecast feature helps growers and applicators identify weather conditions and inversion risk prior to spray applications. A Record Keeping feature helps applicators comply with mandatory dicamba record keeping requirements when applying XtendiMax with VaporGrip Technology. A Resource feature provides other important information related to the Roundup Ready Xtend Crop System. 

4. xarvio Scouting App

     Detect and identify in-field stress simply by taking a photo with your smartphone with the xarvio Scouting app from BASF Digital Farming. The app is designed to support farmers and agricultural advisors in their decision making. Just by walking over the fields and taking pictures you can: identify weeds, determine and count insects in the yellow traps, recognize diseases, analyze leaf damage, and examine the nitrogen status. Everything you spot on your walks is documented in a diary – so you have a complete history available at your fingertips.


5. Cropstream

     Cropstream helps agricultural producers and companies work together — making it easy to communicate and coordinate crop production activities and keep everyone in sync. Whether you are a grower, advisor, seed dealer, service provider, ag retailer, or manufacturer — Cropstream keeps you connected and helps you grow your business. The app makes it easy to keep track of all your conversations by linking messages and photos to the people, products, and places where they took place. 



6.FieldCheck App

     The new FieldCheck by FieldWatch app allows pesticide applicators of any kind to easily locate specialty crop and beehive locations from their mobile device or tablet. With increased functionality and ease-of-use, larger icons and the ability to choose your desired search location through GPS or a specific address, the app will bring the existing FieldWatch platforms to users even faster and easier than before. The DriftWatch Specialty Crop Site and BeeCheck Apiary Registry data will be more accessible to users on the go – just click on the pins to see the detailed contact and location information you need. 

7. AgriSync

     AgriSync enables farmers and advisors to connect and resolve support issues using a mobile video customer service platform. A recent major update created several new features. When a customer uses AgriSync’s mobile call system, the call is simultaneously sent to a selected team of advisors with the new VoiceHub feature. While on a live call, an advisor can create a ticket in AgriSync with the Text to Join feature and invite the farmer to join a live video session by simply clicking a text. Using the Broadcast feature, users can create a simple broadcast message to share pro-active tips and reduce redundant support questions. 

8.FieldAgent app
     This app enables to fly your DJI drone and captures data to make beautiful agricultural crop health maps, count plants, find weeds, and more. Compatible with most any modern DJI drone, FieldAgent manages all the details of flying so you can focus simply on the desired map. New features to the app include flight planning options, a sleeker, more efficient user interface, in-app map views, and free access to the most commonly used features on mobile. FieldAgent helps the mission of making digital agriculture easy, seamless, and available to everyone. The app is available for Android and IOS systems. 

 

 9.AgSense App
    This app gives users the increased ability to remotely monitor and control their entire irrigation operation from anywhere, at any time. The recently added features offer new options for even more precise control of devices, simplified graphics and some navigation improvements. Multiple AgSense devices can be sorted into Groups, making it easier to set up an irrigation schedule for all devices within a group. The new features also include more control options for editing a device’s irrigation schedule with a single tap of the screen. Growers can also set angles with GPS pinpoint precision. The new “Yearly Allotment” graphic was added to improve tracking of a pivot’s water usage throughout an irrigation season. The app is available for Android and IOS systems.



10.John Deere Bale Mobile 

     John Deere Bale Mobile is an iPad application designed to provide customers with enhanced feedback and capabilities during and after the baling process with the new L331 and L341 large square balers.
