At this year’s SouthWest Agriculture Conference and the FarmSmart Conference, Peter Gredig (AgNition, and cash-crop farmer in Elgin County) and I demoed a bunch of different apps that we feel have value for many farming operations. Below is the list of apps (in no particular order) that were shown and the links to download them.
