Farm Site Mate allows you to easily create maps of field boundaries, weed areas, tile lines, spray paths, soil sample locations, or anything else you may need. These maps may then be used in most GIS programs including Farm Site or Site Pro. Farm Site Mate also works with most variable rate controllers for precise application of product. Farm Site Mate is easily upgraded to include additional features, as your record keeping needs change.

*Supported Variable Rate Controllers
The program supports a wide range of variable rate controllers. The list of supported controllers is always growing. If you do not see your controller on this list, contact your software provider. If not already supported, we will work to add your controller to a future software version. |
