You can also chat with our experienced staff in person, or find a fellow farmer, here at Magnum Power in Lawson, Missouri. We welcome all those from Clay County and Kansas City. 

Tractor Manufacturer Apps

Your tractor or other farm equipment manufacturer probably has an app of their own. These apps can make it easier to use your equipment and stay connected to the manufacturer. They might even offer different apps to suit different purposes. Check out what kinds of apps your tractor’s manufacturer offers, in order to help with ownership challenges and even to help with work around your farm. 

Climate and Weather Tracking

The weather is going to play a big role in when you perform certain tasks around your farm. Pretty soon, you’ll need to know when the last frost date is so you can know when to start planting. That’s why some sort of weather app is a must. Of course, something simple, like the weather app that comes with your phone, can suffice, but we recommend having a few sources, like the Climate App, so you can compare predictions from other meteorologists and hopefully find something useful.

General Organizational Apps

Let’s face it, there’s a lot to do on a farm. If you have a superior memory than us mere mortals, then by all means, continue keeping track of things in your head. As for the rest of us, it’s helpful to have a way to stay organized. Pen and paper work, but a more compact way to go about things is to find an agricultural app that helps you keep track of a wide range of things. This can include marketing decisions, crop yield, soil test results, and all sorts of other important information that affects how you farm.
