Encirca

Encirca, and it is the latest in a line of expert systems that you can hire to help you make more informed decisions about your farm. You can get answers to, for example, what seed would work best in this part of your field, when would be the best day to spray based on weather, and how much of a return can I expect from applying nitrogen on that a field? You plug in the questions. Encirca and its reps give you some answers.  An enabling technology that makes this system work is cloud-based computing, an online warehouse where you can store and access farm data that is geo-referenced to your fields. But unlike a data storage vat, you have an actual person looking in to translate the data and give you recommendations, or, “prescriptions” on how much of what to put where.
