Farm Logs

One of the neighbors was telling me about a new application that helps farmers manage their fields. I honestly brushed it off because he uses it to track 100+ acres of corn and soy beans. My entire farm consists of 9.5 acres of which 2/3 of that is a hayfield.

But earlier this week I was bored and decided to check out the FarmLogs. I have to say it has some nifty features even for a small very small hobby farmer like me:

• It lists exact rain fall amounts for your fields (not the rain fall amounts at the airport that's 10 miles away)
• You can trace outlines of your fields/pastures and get their exact acreage
• It tracks your crops (if you grow crops)
• It has an area for equipment so you can input your tractor information, implements, and maintenance records

 The best thing is the basic level is free!

I was really excited to finally know exactly how big each of the fields is:

Hay field-6.1 acres
East Pasture-0.8 acres
West Pasture-1.0 acres
Arena-0.8 acres
