It’s nice to see the big boys catching up to us little boys! LOL. DTN/The Progressive Farmer now has a free iPad app (opens iTunes) and it’s really well done. I’ve added it to my iPad and first impressions are that content is intelligently layed out and easy to navigate. Information opens and refreshes quickly on my wifi. I like seeing posts from their blogs and videos along with “traditional” information like news, wx and markets. Have you tried the app yet? Your impressions?

As a new breed of mobile and technology-savvy professionals increases within the agriculture industry, DTN/The Progressive Farmer continues to lead the way in providing solutions that keep pace with the evolving needs of farmers and agribusinesses.

Additionally, the app offers users commodity market data, charts and graphics as well as interactive, location-specific weather information and maps.

Remember that you can also get AgWired on your iPad or iPhone with our AgWired App. We’ve had over 1,000 people download it and are still seeking a sponsor! A sponsor would let us take it to the next level which would be optimization for iPad! Interested?
