Gallery: 7 weather tools for farming by Willie Vogt There are a number of tools for tracking the weather, and developers continue enhancing their approaches. Check out these 7 tools that will help you track the weather this growing season See: http://farmindustrynews.com/electronics/7-weather-tools-farming Climate Pro: Field-level insights powered by data science Combine your experience with insights from Climate Pro™, a powerful decision support tool that helps you make more informed decisions. Climate Pro helps you stop problems before they impact yield and improve efficiency with smart, field-level information – all captured in one place so it’s easy to share with your trusted advisor. Insights from Climate Pro build on the field intelligence provided by Climate Basic™ for a feature-rich, decision support tool.

But the machines soon could become a key weapon in a robust agricultural arsenal.

We offer up new tech tools, a special edition ATV, a grain bin sensor system and more. See: http://farmindustrynews.com/farm-equipment/geosys-field-insight-tools-new-atv-bin-sensors-and-more Geosys offers two new field insight tools by Kathy Graul (Farm Industry News) Geosys has released two new offerings, Croptical Monitoring Application and Geosys Bridge API, to give agronomists critical field insights and provide agribusinesses with a means of bolstering their precision ag offerings. Both tools are powered by three times the number of high-resolution in-season satellite imagery maps that are included in the industry standard contract for agricultural technology solutions. Croptical Monitoring Application uses daily satellite imagery to benchmark a field’s health and compare it to others in the area with the same crop type and similar planting date. This allows agronomists and their customers to better manage their time and resources by focusing on fields that have the highest potential for a response to additional management practices. Agronomists are also able to look more closely into the data for a particular field and view the high-resolution imaging that is available. In addition, Croptical Monitoring Application provides access to daily regional weather forecasts and historical weather data. Geosys Bridge API, a collection of APIs administered by GEOSYS, is easily integrated into existing precision ag solutions to generate and display maps and agronomic data that are delivered directly to a company’s existing ag technology platform. The Bridge APIs offer two types of high resolution imagery maps: in-season and archive. In-season imagery maps provide current information on crop conditions and variability of crop health within the field at a time when crop decision-makers can respond. This allows them to better direct their scouting efforts and make input applications that can help preserve or improve yields. Archive imagery maps allow customers to evaluate the variability and performance of fields over many years and use that information as the basis for the current season’s crop plan. Currently, Geosys Bridge APIs offer up to 15 years of archive imagery maps.

My Funeral Three friends from a local church were asked, "When you are in your casket, and your friends and church members are mourning over you, what would you like them to say?" Junior said, "I would like them to say, I was a wonderful husband, a fine spiritual leader, and a great family man." Bud commented, "I would like them to say, I was a wonderful teacher, a servant of the church, who made a huge difference in people's lives." Jimmy said, "I'd like them to say, 'Look, he's movin!"
