Whether it is data from planting, fertilizing, spraying, harvest or guidance, SMS software from Ag Leader houses and organizes data for easy access. And this ability to gather and analyze data could come in handy this harvest season.

So now you have the data – what are you going to do with it? [wpaudio url=”http://precision.agwired.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2011/09/JessicaSMS2.mp3″ text=”Ahrens tells us about the possibilities”]

Some of the benefits to utilizing this software package include the ability to:
• Analyze harvest data by field area, application records, as planted maps, etc.
• Overlay hybrid/variety maps with harvest maps to determine yield performance
• Review yield performance year-to-year
• Overlay yield maps with other field operations to determine how field activities affected yield across the field

One primary benefit to SMS software is being able to make year-to-year comparisons that impact your bottom line. [wpaudio url=”http://precision.agwired.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2011/09/JessicaSMS3.mp3″ text=”Ahrens tells us why this is important”]
