Going SMS Mobile

Chuck Zimmerman

SMS MobileI’ll bet that farmers will use SMS Mobile right after they get done checking their email, news feeds and the weather. How many of them have a mobile device already? Anyone know?

Ag Leader Technology, Inc., a leading manufacturer of precision farming equipment and software announced SMS Mobile to its popular family of software, which already includes SMS Basic, SMS Advanced and the SMS Booklet Module. SMS Mobile is a powerful new software package that allows you to take SMS software to the field on a Windows-based mobile device. SMS Mobile supports a number of in-field logging options. SMS Mobile provides a boundary mode for defining or editing your field boundaries. SMS Mobile also provides a general logging mode that allows the logging and editing of points, lines, or polygons which is useful for logging things like tile lines or management zones. SMS Mobile can also log coverage data in coverage mode for tracking
field operations such as tillage or mowing. SMS Mobile will also feature a soil-sampling mode that will allow you to create and/or navigate to an area to pull soil samples (Available fall 2007).
