Thanks for sharing this news Deb. I
visited their site and ran the demo. I was pleasantly surprised. I thought it
looked well organized and user friendly. It looks like it could be a powerful
tool for market farming. I looked at the profiles of the developers too. They
seem sincerely interested in developing this product for this industry for
altruistic reasons. I suspect that the initial product may become a platform
for other features that could be added on, like marketing, pest management,
greenhouse operations, etc. They may be setting it up as for-pay later, but it
certainly has value, so that may not be limiting. I’d recommend anyone on this
list give it a look. Bill William H. Shoemaker Sr. Research Specialist, Food Crops 630-584-7254, FAX-584-4610 From:

I've been eagerly waiting for the
opportunity to talk about this new web-based farm planning software. I
saw a demo at the NOFA Summer conference and have been pestering the developers
since. They've just publicly announced an early winter release and
updated their website yesterday. There's a short demo video here: The video doesn't begin to show how cool
this is going to be! They've spent tons of time talking to farmers about
what they want and need and have been very receptive to my questions and
suggestions since August. I don't know of any other software that
does everything AgSquared will do. It's what I would design if I knew
anything about designing software! It beats the hell out of my motley
collection of Excel spreadsheets. oh...and it's FREE. Take a look at the demo video and the
FAQs. Warmly, Deb Mobius Fields |
