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.

Hi All.

 

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
