| Benefits for Agronomists |
| Agronomists are often challenged in making decisions that are the most cost-effective choice among alternative solutions. |
| For example, an Agronomist that scouts a weed infestation is asked to recommend a
herbicide treatment. |
| The challenge lies in determining which product is the most cost-effective choice among herbicide treatments, costing from $5.00 to $25.00. |
| Typically, the Agronomists must balance product price with product
performance, risks of injury, application timing, weather and other factors. |
| The FieldPlan Calculator provides the Agronomist with a comprehensive listing of product options, complete with cost per acre calculations. |
| Additionally,
our services provide hyperlinks direct to product "directions for use" as detailed by the product manufacturer, which enables you to refresh your knowledge of use rate for weed size or soil type, application timing and risks
for crop injury. |
| More importantly, the FieldPlan Calculator provides the Agronomists with a means of planning agronomic inputs in advance of the season, rather than simply reacting to a situation, often after considerable damage is done. |
| Balancing planned preventative treatments and planned curative treatments in advance of the season provides the Agronomist a baseline for the season, minimizing crisis management. |

| Best Agronomic Practices |
| In developing our services, we incorporate the best-practices used by many Agronomists. |
| We focus on assisting the agronomist and the farmer with making many good decisions, and not necessarily the absolute
best decision on a specific issue. |
| Login to the FieldPlan Calculator and develop a plan that is typical of the crops grown in your area. Select the seeds, chemicals and fertilizers used in your service area. |
| Revise quantity and price
for your market. Explore the options for most-cost effective products and services, balancing performance and risks. |
| Print a copy and share with your clients. Better yet, activate the Share Function of the FieldPlan Calculator and share your information online with other Registered Users, primarily your farmer clients. |
| Use this collaboration as means of achieving more profitable farming operations. |
| We welcome your comments and suggestions, particularly in regard to online sharing of agronomic information with your farmer clients. |
