#62 Supply Inputs Database Included

A supply inputs database (AgriDNA-Basic) will now be included on all updates and new product sold for 2006-2007. AgriDNA is a revolutionary service designed to provide today’s agricultural dealers, crop advisors, and growers with an efficient way to download (via Internet) standardized chemical, seed, fertilizer, and general production practice information into Farm Trac and Site Pro. AgriDNA allows Farm Works users to easily download all of their supplies so they don't have to enter important labeling information, such as EPA numbers, manufacturer, formulation, and more. 

What's best is AgriDNA is backed up by a professional chemical database company (Crop Data Management Systems Inc. aka CDMS), which gives you the piece of mind in knowing that if the EPA ever comes knocking at your door, that you'll have the most up to date chemical details as required by law.

#63 Weather and Field Conditions For All Types of Field Records

Weather and field conditions can now be entered for any farming action in Farm Trac. In previous versions of Farm Works, weather and field conditions could only be entered when applying restricted chemicals to a field. As the demand increases for better records on fertilizer application, such as manure, Farm Trac will now be able to handle it for any input.

#64 Discrete Legends

The Discrete Legend in the “Edit Legends” area is a new handy feature for assigning a color to a single value. This is especially nice when you have a map (such as a variable rate application map) and want to designate a color for each rate.

#66 Variable Rate Maps Are Tied to Planned Field Operations

Feature #48 mentions a new prescription map generator tool for developing application maps. To expand this feature, Farm Works X2 will take this map and allow you to integrate a planned job operation. Once completed the job can be synchronized with Trac Mate/Site Mate with one step. By selecting the planned job from the “Unfinished Job/Workorders” list, the variable rate map created for the same field will appear too. Thus reducing the number of steps in the field.

The images at left show an example of entering planning records to a prescription map. Simply select the file from the “Job” tab and choose Properties.

Next, select the Add menu and choose Input. Here you can add more supplies, equipment, or labor to your planned farming operation.

When your supplies, equipment, and labor have been added to the variable rate map, simply select Trac Mate to export to the field device. The planned operation with now link with the variable rate map and download to the Trac Mate/Site Mate software.

#68 Updated Road and Waterway Data (Tiger Data)

Farm Works X2 revamped how road and waterway data is imported and displayed on the screen. If using Farm Site or Site Pro, users will only have one step for downloading local road and waterway maps into their project. Simply select the state and county or counties from the drop down list.

Once you select the OK button the layers will download from the Internet and appear in the Farm/Field/Job Tree. Once displayed on the screen, users can view road and waterway names on each layer. The road and waterway data has also been updated to 2004, which is another improvement from prior versions. The image below displays the roads (red color) and waterways (blue color) with road names appearing on the map.
