Les agriculteurs de plus en plus « agri-mobiles » (© Étude Agrinautes
2015 réalisée par BVA et Tic-agri pour TNC) (in French but easy to translate
thanks to e.g. Google Translation)
>>> Smartphone et tablette ont la cote chez les agriculteurs pour
surfer sur internet.
Selon l'étude Agrinautes 2015 réalisée par BVA et Tic-agri auprès des exploitants
connectés, près de 21 % naviguent désormais sur tablette. Et plus de 31
% sur smartphone, contre 13 % seulement en 2012 !
Toutefois, l'ordinateur reste très nettement leur matériel préféré pour
se connecter, avec une légère baisse du PC fixe alors que le portable se
maintient.
Les céréaliers sont les plus mordus de mobilité, avec près de 39 % de "surfeurs
sur téléphone mobile", devant les viticulteurs (37,6 %), contre près
de 26 % chez les éleveurs et polyculteurs-éleveurs et un peu moins de 23
% chez les éleveurs de bovins lait ou / et viande.

Michelin
launches a free mobile application to calculate agricultural tire pressure
Michelin is offering farmers access to an easy-to-use mobile application
that features a number of unique functionalities. With the Michelin pressure
calculator, real-time agricultural tire pressure information is just a
photo and a couple of clicks away.
Using the Michelin Pressure Calculator involves three simple steps:
- Type the load supported by front and rear axle.
- Enter the type of tire fitted to the front and rear of the tractor using
the drop-down menus.
- Take a photo of the tractor with your smartphone. The application's
built-in camera function precisely calculates load distribution and the
length of the overhang measured from the wheel axles. This feature is
the only one of its kind on the market.
The Michelin Pressure Calculator can instantly work out the most appropriate
tire pressure for the desired load and speed. This gives farmers the best
pressure information possible to help them maintain road safety as well
as protect the soil. The app is free on both Android and iOS devices and
available in four languages: French, English, German and Spanish.

It could be an
Irish joke!
And a second joke: Barber, the customer and the shoe shine girl
A fellow sat on the barber's chair and states, "I'll have a shave
and a shoe shine, please...
The barber began to lather his face, while a woman with the firmest, most
beautiful real breasts that he had ever seen knelt down and began to shine
his shoes.
The fellow says, "Young lady, you and I should go and spend some
time in a hotel room."
She replied, "I'm married and my husband wouldn't like that."
The fellow said, "Tell him you're working overtime and I'll pay you
the difference."
She said, "You tell him; you're closer”!
