Digital Tools for Planting Season

There are many posts on a variety of topics related to digital agriculture on our website! Specifically as we head into the spring planting season, we think these might be particularly useful to you:

Search a listing of more than 500 agricultural applications (apps) you can download and use on your phone, tablet or desktop computer. More quickly find that tool you need or want.
The FREE Purdue Crop Planner is a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that allows you to easily plan by the field and sum supplies over your own entire farming operation. It will help you evaluate management decisions.
The CONTxT app allows you to collect data regarding field operations that is critical for record-keeping AND store it in one central file that is easily accessed. Your data lands in your own GoogleSheet.
