Site Pro

Site Pro takes the features of Farm Trac and Farm Site and adds a limitless number of clients so you can easily keep maps along with field and chemical records for your customers.

 

1. Create projects for an unlimited number of clients. Display as many clients as you would like on the screen at one time.
2. Works with the USGS DLG CDs that contain roads, waterways and other data that can be mapped for your area.
3. Share information, such as yield maps or soil tests, with your clients who use Farm Site.
4. Create any number of layers to analyze anything in, on, or under fields. Layers can be specific to a given client or can be "shared" layers that can be displayed along with any client's data.
5. Print full-color maps to any WindowsTM compatible printer. You may either print to a set scale or print the map as seen on the screen. Site Pro even gives you the ability to include your logo on all maps you print.
6. Included with Site Pro is Farm Site Mate Basic. This program is used on Windows CE devices and laptop computers along with a GPS receiver to map boundaries, paths and points.
7. Automatically grid any field to any grid size for soil sampling. This procedure will automatically create grid lines as well as the soil sampling points and can be used to automatically fill in the sample ID for each. Points can be created using several different grid patterns and all points can be moved or deleted. These points can be exported for use with Micro-Trak's® Soil-Trak™ or with Farm Site Mate.
8. Includes easy-to-use drawing tools.
9. Use patterns, as well as colors, for your maps. Overlay layers to see how they relate to each other.
10. Import yield data, including moisture, elevation, and any other data collected by all major yield monitors.
11. Use Quick Yields to quickly import and see base, gridded, or contoured views of yield data.
12. Create averaged, smoothed, or contoured views of any point data, including yield maps and soil tests. You have full control over settings that are used to grid or contour the data. Change the size of the grid on which averages are based, change the number of points used in smoothing calculations, or use the default values provided.
13. Display averages based on areas from other layers. Find the average yields for each soil type or for a weed area or show the average pH within a certain soil type.
14. Quickly and easily create and display legends. Use the statistical option to automatically create a legend based on the ranges of data that you are working with, or use the Equal Units feature to make your own legend. You have the flexibility to make your own legend the way you want. And, unlike many automatic legends, ours isn't fooled by a few erroneous yield points in your data.
15. Import and export data in several formats including Arc View Shape files and ASCII delimited files.
16. Keep chemical records for your clients. It's as easy as clicking on the desired fields and entering the necessary information. Then, print EPA required chemical reports, sorted by field, chemical, or crop.
17. Use scanned images - as many or as few as you need. These images can be geo-referenced and scaled using your road and waterway maps. You can then trace field and soil type boundaries to produce accurate maps.
18. Zoom in on any feature on a map, or see a bird's-eye view of the entire area. Quickly zoom to a certain farm or field with user defined zooms.
19. Split or merge fields at any time to reflect changes in farming methods.
20. Use the "Show Me" function to display only selected parts of any data. For example, show only areas with certain soil types, or only yields that fall within a selected range.
21. Use the coordinate system that fits the job - Degrees, Degrees-Minutes, Degrees-Minutes-Seconds, State Plane, or UTM.
22. Save maps in a Windows bitmap file for use in word processors and other programs.

The Complete Guide to Farm Site and Site Pro

Farm Works is pleased to offer a brand new manual titled The Complete Guide to Farm Site and Site Pro. This manual is a culmination of six months of work. The manual is over 100 pages and includes step-by-step instructions with plenty of illustrations on how to use Farm Site and Site Pro. The manual is based on many of the topics covered in training classes as well as commonly asked support questions. This manual can be ordered using the email order form on this website or by calling Freephone: 0800 856 6030 or our Office: 01786 465100.
Plans are in the works to offer similar manuals for the other Farm Works modules in the future.
The manual was written using version of Farm Works (version 8.4). While the majority of the steps covered in the manual will be applicable to prior versions of Farm Site, it may be helpful to be using version 8.4.

Among the topics covered in this manual are:

Working with Layers Creating Field Boundaries Zooming to fields Converting Farm Trac maps to Farm Site Loading in USGS Road & Waterway data Loading images from the internet Soil test data Yield Maps/points/data

Calibrating/Geo-referencing images Legend Importing Exporting Soil Sampling Grid Soil Test Yield, moisture and elevation data Base, average and contour data
