As the Internet capabilities of cell phones increase, so does the ability to make agricultural decisions away from a desktop computer. Farmers can now access important market information in real time from popular companies such as DTN and Cargill. In the palm of their hand, farmers can now make more educated decisions by being able to quickly access the latest market reports and weather conditions, allowing them to make their decisions in the fields or shop versus behind a desk.
Another new development is the ability to receive alerts when markets reach a quota the producer sets. This new ability allows the farmer be kept informed and able to make quick decisions to act on such information immediately if he/she so chooses. Weather alerts act in a similar manner, and have added features such as a precipitation estimator, particularly allowing grain farmers the ability to decide if it would be beneficial to work in the fields that day.
These new advancements help make the decision process a little easier, mobile and informed for farmers who don't always have the time to sit in front of a computer screen crunching numbers.
