Ten Reasons to Buy Farm Works Software from Martens Farms

1

Integration and Features: Farm Works is the only farm software company that does it all! Farm Works offers field record keeping, accounting (cash and accrual), GPS yield mapping, layers (grid sampling, soil types, etc.), herd management, and data collection and mapping programs for hand held computers. The best part is that all of the programs integrate together to provide just one software package! No more entering the same information in different programs, or wondering how it all relates.

2

Time Savings: Computerizing farm information can help you save time on decision-making, tax reporting, field operations, inheritance planning, and more. Use your handheld computer to enter farming actions in the field, then easily move that data onto your office computer at the end of the day. Reports are then ready to print – from chemical or FSA/insurance reports to field maps. Add a GPS system for more precise information to help you better manage your farming enterprise.

3

Price: Farm Works software offers great value for a reasonable price. Updates are much less than most other competitors, too. Martens Farms, a premier Farm Works dealer and consultancy, offers discounted prices and great bundled specials, as well as affordable personal training and project assistance. Competitive Upgrades are available for those switching from competing farm management software.

4

Stability: Farm Works' sister company, CTN Data Service, is a privately held company and has been around since 1982 writing software for grain elevators, co-ops, and fertilizer businesses. When Windows was released, Farm Works was created to provide easy-to-use software for the farmer. Martens Farms is consistently a top dealer in the U.S. We've been using Farm Works since 1994, and selling and supporting it since 1996.
