Smartphone apps relative for agriculturalists too

Smartphones have been a standard part of the business professional’s day-to-day life for close to a decade. The need to be connected and available at all times led to the trend’s rapid adoption.

In the agriculture world it’s no different. It has always been important to be connected, whether by CB radios, to let someone know the cows were out, the bag phone, which became a staple in most farmers’ trucks, or the many generations of cell phones. Instant communication is a mainstay for those in production agriculture and many mobile developers are taking notice.

A very tech and social media savvy farmer and dairy producer in California posted a great blog discussing the apps on his phone that are the most prevalent in his day-to-day life, Top 10 Android apps for Farmers (iPhone too).

In his blog, Dino Giacomazzi discusses apps that provide information most farmers and producers would find beneficial. For example, he uses an app that acts as a level for planter calibration and another app provides target dates for quick math when it comes to planting decisions. He also takes advantage of map and weather apps.

With the increase of competition in the smartphone market users have more options than ever before. This is important with those in production agriculture because not every service provider covers the areas where farmers and producers are located.

Many farmers and producers are open to mobile marketing and are ready and waiting for new technologies to ease their daily duties and increase communication possibilities. The big question is what’s next?
