Farmer Pro comes with access to an intelligent, user-friendly online platform that syncs automatically across devices so you’re only entering information once. Growers can use the online platform for:
Farmer Pro comes with access to the pioneering, user-friendly Trimble Ag Mobile app. Trimble Ag Mobile allows farmers to input, access, and share records — from field images to crop scouting reports — in real time from any mobile device. Our farm data management app works on both Apple iOS and Android devices, and keeps working even if you lose your Wi-Fi or cell signal.
Use Trimble Ag Mobile for:
Farmer Pro comes with access to our integrated desktop mapping, field record-keeping, and simple cash accounting. Built on the foundation of Farm Works Software®, our desktop platform turns farm data into actionable decisions.
Use the desktop software to:
Crop Health Imagery, powered by PurePixel™ technology, provides reliable, cloud-free, calibrated satellite images to farmers and their trusted advisors. PurePixel leverages a proprietary algorithm to analyze multiple sensor inputs to produce calibrated vegetative index maps throughout the growing season.
This unique calibration allows farmers to compare crop health at each growing stage for more targeted crop scouting. This enables smart in-season application decisions, helping farmers maximize yields and drive profits.

Trimble’s Work Orders feature takes the guesswork out of assigning and tracking field work for farm managers. This easy-to-use mobile feature assists in managing logistics, assigning tasks, tracking progress, and making quick adjustments to maximize efficiency and farm productivity. In addition, farm workers can leverage their smartphone to receive daily tasks, resulting in increased efficiency and a reduction in application mistakes.
Learn More about Work OrdersAre you tired of looking at yield maps that don’t match what’s in the field? Trimble Ag Software’s new Yield Data Cleaning tool automatically fixes issues with grain flow delays, GPS errors, sensor errors, and overlaps, saving you countless hours manually fixing them field-by-field. As more and more farmers move toward precision ag, accurate yield maps become critical when using them for prescriptions or management zones. Clean yield data means accurate maps, which result in more profitable acres.
Farm data compatibility and connectivity agreements between Trimble Ag Software and other third-party farm management software platforms include Raven Slingshot® system, AGCO VarioDoc and AgCommand® systems, John Deere Operations Center, Case IH Advanced Farming Systems (AFS) Connect™, New Holland Precision Land Management (PLM) Connect, and more.

Using GPS locations to target samples based on any management zone, farmers can now collect actual sample points using any mobile device. Once samples are collected, farmers can visualize both target and collected points in Trimble Ag Software online, and export the files in a shapefile format to send to any farming partners or crop advisor.
If you are a grower or have customers that utilize zone management then this will help dial in your management practices to allow better understanding of your zones nutrition, and a more consistent sampling system across your management zones.
As each field typically varies in size and variability, zones are a great way to break the variability down and identify common fertility areas. However, the drivers of common productivity may not always be the same — they can be influenced by several different factors, including elevation, slope, soil type, and past farming practices. Knowing the location where the samples were taken in each zone is important to guarantee that the sampling was representative of the overall zone. With this tool, growers are now able to target and collect multiple samples per zone, providing clear visibility on where the samples were taken. This goes a long way toward improving fertility management and enabling zone management ground truthing over time.
This feature is particularly useful on farms with large fields that have higher variability and significant changes in:
It’s also more economical than grid sampling, giving farmers a further boost to their bottom line.

“I use Crop Health Imagery to fine tune our fertilizer program. I raise mostly hard red spring wheat and tools like this can make a difference in our protein content which impacts the bottom line. I like how you can look at the crop health early in the growing season or look back at prior years to see trends of crop health. It is easy to use and helps me make informed decision when creating my own variable rate application maps.”
– Lance Wickum, Shelby, MT
“Every trip is recorded so we can look at the bottom line not only per field but per acre to see how we’re doing, what fields are paying and which ones aren’t.”
– Duane Kiess, Decatur, IN

Where to Buy
This enhanced feature is important for farmers, as well as contractors that are using Trimble displays to do VR applications.
In the past, users would manually load prescriptions on each display with USB sticks before each variable rate field operation, a process that can be time consuming and prone to error.
Now, users can send imported prescriptions or prescriptions created from Management Zones to connected Trimble displays in an organization with Farmer Core or Farmer Pro. These VRA prescription files can be easily and efficiently sent to the displays and vehicles where they will be used, all from the comfort of your office!
