The bottom line with any crop scouting app, is the idea that a farmer can have better records over the long-term and have better communication with their crop team (whether that will be an agronomist, custom sprayer, etc.). It may also mean scouting happens more regularly, given the ease. Whichever way you look at it, crop scouting apps can have a big impact on your data bank and as both Gredig and Stark point out – your bottom-line.\ Delete the scoop?

WASHINGTON — For Zach Hunnicutt, a fifth-generation Nebraska farmer, the decision to install new tracking technology on his equipment last summer proved to be money well spent. Just nine hours after installing GPS in machines that slowly water corn and soybeans on his family's farm, Hunnicutt's brother saw on his iPad tracking app that two of them were about to collide.
A quick text message to Hunnicutt gave the 30-year-old time to drive out to the field, turn off the equipment and avert disaster with minutes to spare — saving $10,000 in repair costs and avoiding downtime when the machines known as pivots would be unable to water thirsty crops already suffering from the worst drought in decades.

How high can farmers push yields using precision technology and how long can they sustain land at these high production levels? These are questions that have perplexed North Carolina Crop Consultant Steven Valencsin for many years. Instead of wondering about the benefits of technology to agriculture, he has set about finding ways to implement advanced plant production systems through his work with Growers LLC, his Raleigh, N.C.-based crop consulting and custom applicator business.
