It will help the agriculturist track which fields are measured, fix any errors and send completed files to the corporate office for boundary file management. The equipment needed to successfully complete the project is an Ipaq hand-held computer, a Trimble GPS Unit for each agriculturist to measure the fields, 4X4 ATV s and measuring scouts. Precision Partners will be at each factory district in April to train ag office coordinators and agriculturists on the software program. All map printing will be done in the office at each factory location. This will ensure timely delivery to shareholders.
Contracting is a crucial element of measuring fields.
If a shareholder is late or not contracted at the time of measuring, the field cannot be measured correctly. A change in fields slows the process also. The sooner the shareholder alerts the agriculturist to changes made the sooner that field measurement can be completed. Communication is a key factor to successfully completing this project on time. Shareholder cooperation is needed and will be greatly appreciated.
