Farm Site screen shot

Farm Site adds layers and  GPS compatibility to Farm Trac. Real-world coordinates work to provide state-of-the-art  positioning. Farm Site also supports a limitless number of layers, from  soil types or soil tests, to last year's fields or next year's planting  intentions. Farm Site works with all major yield monitors, and Farm Works  is committed to supporting the widest possible range of equipment.

  • Take Farm Trac maps one step further.  Draw  your map with real world coordinates provided by  a GPS receiver or other source. 
  • Drawing a field can be as easy as clicking on  a button or driving around the field. 
  • Display street maps and other data that is available  on the Internet or from the U.S. Geological Survey  or a CD from Farm Works. 
  • Have your field boundaries drawn automatically  with Farm Site's auto draw feature and your yield  data.
  • Create any number of layers to analyze anything  in, on , or under fields.
  • Print full-color maps to any Windows compatible printer.  You may either print to  a set scale or print the map as seen on the screen.
  • Automatically grid any field to any grid size  for soil sampling. This procedure will automatically  create grid lines as well as the soil sampling points  and can be used to automatically fill in the sample  ID for each. Points can be created using several  different grid patterns and all points can be moved  or deleted. These points can be exported for use  with Micro-Trak's® Soil-Trak or  with Farm Site Mate.
  • Includes easy-to-use drawing tools.
  • Use patterns, as well as colors, for your maps.  Overlay layers to see how they relate to each other.
  • Import yield data, including moisture, elevation,  and any other data collected by all major yield  monitors.
  • Use Quick Yields to quickly import and see base,  gridded, or contoured views of yield data.
  • Create averaged, smoothed, or contoured views  of any point data, including yield maps and soil  tests. You have full control over settings that  are used to grid or contour the data. Change the  size of the grid on which averages are based, change  the number of points used in smoothing calculations,  or use the default values provided.
  • Display averages based on areas from other layers.  Find the average yields for each soil type or for  a weed area or show the average pH within a certain  soil type.
  • Quickly and easily create and display legends.  Use the statistical option to automatically create  a legend based on the ranges of data that you are  working with, or use the Equal Units feature to  make your own legend. You have the flexibility to  make your own legend the way you want. And, unlike  many automatic legends, ours isn't fooled by a few  erroneous yield points in your data.
  • Import and export data in several formats including  Arc View Shape files and ASCII delimited files.
  • Use scanned images - as many or as few as you  need. These images can be geo-referenced and scaled  using your road and waterway maps. You can then  trace field and soil type boundaries to produce  accurate maps.
  • Zoom in on any feature on a map, or see a bird's-eye  view of the entire area. Quickly zoom to a certain  farm or field with user defined zooms.
  • Use the "Show Me" function to display  only selected parts of any data. For example, show  only areas with certain soil types, or only yields  that fall within a selected range.
  • Use the coordinate system that fits the job -  Degrees, Degrees-Minutes, Degrees-Minutes-Seconds,  State Plane, or UTM.
