FarmLogic is dedicated to making farming easier and more efficient for farmers all over the world. This article taken from a blog perfectly describes why our apps are so important to us.
Farmers’ almanacs have been a treasured source of information for people working on the land and even us city types for centuries.
With their lists of what to plant and when, rainfall patterns, homespun wisdom and astronomical – and even astrological – data, they were often invaluable. And even when they weren’t, they were usually interesting and entertaining, like Benjamin Franklin’s renowned Poor Richard’s Almanac.
But times have changed. Instead of a book telling them when the rainfall is right for them to plant their crops, farmers these days have a variety of mobile apps to guide them.
Many of the apps are developed by farming product manufacturers or retailers, as a way to help farmers use the products correctly, getting better value or reducing environmental impacts. Using various business models, these businesses can provide the apps free as added value for existing customers or as a promotional tool for prospective customers. Or even sell the apps, when they are considered good enough.
It all adds another dimension to the term “cash cow”.
