I've spent a little bit of time this morning playing around with Ag Squared. I don't think it's for me. I've used spread sheets for years, and sitting here trying to enter all my data is too time consuming for me. If I could download my excel files into their format ( maybe I can and I'm just not seeing it?) would help. The field mapping is OK, but I can do the same thing with Google Earth so... I'm a little disappointed. I thought this would be the "thing" to make my life easier.

Hi folks,
I spent a lot of yesterday messing around with agsquared. It's nice,
but it's not everything I hoped it would be.
For those of us who are used to a spreadsheet, the data entry is
time-consuming. And, as a market farmer, I can't imagine having to re
enter all my crops and successions every year. The beauty of my
spreadsheet is I can copy the whole thing, change the year and the
beds, and have 80% of my work done for the next year.
It also doesn't appear to have a feature for recording yield data.
You can do predicted harvest quantities, but I at least have not found
a way to plug in & compare actual yield. This is something I could
really use a tool for, because I'm very bad about recording all my
harvest data on little pieces of paper and 3 different notebooks, and
then never doing anything with them after that.
The calendar is neat, but not everything I had hoped for. It has a
pretty user interface, but I'm not sold on spending 4$/ month yet.
Oh, and the farm mapping tool? Nice idea.. but drawing the exact size
of my outbuildings and fields with a mouse and no way to just type in
the dimensions = frustration.
