Farmers and landowners both benefit greatly from the Climate Fieldview app. Anyone renting or farming a specific area of farmland is able to pinpoint his/her field. They’re able to find this area of farmland on maps via satellites giving the person an aerial view of the field. ClimateFieldView will give you a view of your entire operation on one screen to understand what is happening on each field, which makes it easier to make decisions that will maximize your yields. On the downside of it, ClimateFieldView is minorly bland and not very eye appealing. This minor problem , however, does not keep ClimateFieldView from being useful. Climate FieldView still is considered to be one of the best farming apps out there on the market.
ClimateFieldView already has each field’s boundaries, so all that you need to do is click on the field. From there all you have to do is label the field name, the owner of the field, and the farm operation. Once you’ve done that, it opens you up to several little details about the field. ClimateFieldView gives the user current weather conditions and the amount of precipitation in the last seventy-two hours. One review, written by Weaux, on ClimateFieldView store said: “Can’t believe how flawlessly they built ClimateFieldView. The content has a great interface and has been pretty accurate.” ClimateFieldView can drain a mobile device's battery extremely fast, therefore you might want to have a charger on hand if using ClimateFieldView throughout the day.
ClimateFieldView also presents a feature called scouting. The scouting part of ClimateFieldView recognizes several different items that you can mark as notes, send to advisors, and do other things with. Another feature allows you to take pictures of the selected field. A person could capture photos and share them with trusted advisors. Under the scouting part of ClimateFieldView , a farmer will mark notes on the field such as when he sprayed, harrowed, or even disked the field. By doing this, the farmer is able to be more organized and efficient in what he/she does.
Keeping records of weather and scouting is not all that ClimateFieldView can do. ClimateFieldView shows areas where the soil is richer than other places on the field. For example, in a low spot, ClimateFieldView might say the soil type is Williams-Niobell loams level. ClimateFieldView also states how many acres of the field are that certain type of soil. This informs the farmer of several different things. First, it tells him how much more or less of fertilizer each part of the field will need, saving the farmer thousands of dollars. Second, the farmer becomes aware of areas to avoid during a wet year. Sometimes the top of the field might look dry, but the soil type says it is sandy land, so the farmer still needs to be careful of where they are driving. By knowing the soil type of the land, the farmer can plan for the future. Maybe, next fall the farmer wants to put manure on the field, but he/she doesn’t know the best spot to put it. All he or she needs to do is look on ClimateFieldView and ClimateFieldView will show show you where to put the manure because of the soil type. ClimateFieldView will provide an accurate nitrogen status of each field that will minimize yield loss.This is and will continue to revolutionize the way farmers make decisions on his or her farm.
ClimateFieldView also keeps track of your progress of each crop on each field. You mark which fields you have planted, so you know which fields you still need to plant. The only minor problem dealing with the fields is that the fields aren’t organized so they are hard to find.That is one of the few problems ClimateFieldView has. If a farmer has a field a long ways away they can just look at their app and see what they planted on the field and when they planted it. You can also login how many seeds you planted per acre. Then you state how many acres you planted and can write any notes on how the planting went. This activity that you post on this field will be there during the next planting season. This is a benefit as you will know if you need to make any adjustments from last year.
ClimateFieldView also provides the users a notifications center which informs you on new things that are either happening with your field or need to be updated. The notifications can be sent to your email or have push notifications sent to your mobile devices. These notifications include daily precipitation reports from the last twenty four hours, hail reports, changes to nitrogen status, new map arrival times, and informational messages about new updates. There is also a login on the homepage of ClimateFieldView that shows all your recent activities that you have done to your field so you can stay up to date with what you have done throughout the day or week.
ClimateFieldView features the Climate FieldView Drive that takes ClimateFieldView to the next level. The FieldView Drive is a wireless device that you plug into your combine or tractor that logs data and transfers it to ClimateFieldView itself. For the tractor, you can log all your seeding or planting data. For the combine, it will keep track of your yield for each acre that you harvest. This little wireless drive will greatly improve farmers lives. One, it provides farmers on useful data. This data saves farmers money, so they don’t overuse the fertilizers they put in the ground. The data from the harvest tells why some parts of the field yield more than others.
The Climate FieldView app offers farmers with lots of valuable informations saving he/she lots of time and money. Describing areas of your land: sandy, rich, alkaline, and many others while being very accurate. ClimateFieldView holds all your notes on the field, and even keeps them as history throughout the farming seasons. It may offer some difficulties, but overall this is a great app for farmers willing to save more money in less time.
