Version 10 Update Features

Farm Trac Plus & Site Pro:

• Previously entered Farming Actions may now be edited through the “Operations Maintenance” box. This allows users to pull up any number of previously entered farming records and make changes as needed (without having to remove the farming actions and re-enter them).
• You can now select multiple lines (or segments of lines) with the Pointer Tool and the program will display the combined length at the bottom of the screen.

Farm Funds:

• A “Merge” feature has been added to “Enterprise Maintenance” to merge two enterprises into one. This is useful if unneeded enterprises have been created, such as happens if an enterprise is ended and a new enterprise is created for the same crop (when both enterprises should actually be one).
• Payroll Deductions can now be specified to reduce taxable income for any combination of Federal, FICA, Medicare, State, City, County, Federal Unemployment and State Unemployment.

Farm Site & Site Pro:

• Added support for the new Case “Voyager” yield format. These yield files have a .vyg file extension and can be read in using the Quick Yield Tools.
• Added support for the new Ag Leader “Insight” yield format. These yield files have a .ilf file extension and can be read in using the Quick Yield Tools.
• Added support for the new John Deere “GSD” yield format. These yield files have a .gsd file extension and can be read in using the Quick Yield Tools. This version only supports yield data in this format and not other data such as “Field Doc” data that has the same file extension.
• Added support for AGCO yield format. The user will still need to have the Agco “Open Office” software. Open Office is used to read the data from the PC Card. The Quick Yield Tools can then be used to read the yield data. Direct reading from a PC card will be coming in the future.

Farm Stock:

• Farm Stock has a new “full screen” layout that is easier to navigate.
• Pre-defined Calendar events can now be set to trigger more than one event. For example, a birth could be set to trigger an expected weaning as well as a vaccination on a different date.
• Health Records now include Reason, Treatment, Shot Location, Lot Number (for vaccine), Shot Type, Administrator, Dose, Dose Units, and Comments.
• Farm Stock now saves every weight that is entered (along with the date of the weight). In the past it only saved the birth, weaning, sale and current date (when a new current weight was entered, it over-wrote the prior weight).
• All Farm Stock reports can be exported in a number of useful formats including Word, .pdf, Excel, and Text.
• New reports have been added including a “Weight History” and new “Health Action” report.
• Note that Version 10.0 no longer supports any type of Custom Reports. A new report writer will be included with one of the next releases. The new report writer will be much easier to use and will be similar to the Crop Summary Report in Farm Trac+ .

Farm Site Mate:

• The Navigate Tool in Site Mate has been changed. When the Navigation Tool is displayed in the lower left-hand corner, you can tap on it and have the compass enlarged so it fills the entire screen.
• When mapping a path, Site Mate will display the length of that path as you go. This is displayed on the status bar at the bottom of the screen (where the file name was previously displayed).
• Farm Site Mate now has a “Measure Tool” that allows you to click and drag and make a “measuring line”. The program displays the distance of that measuring line.
