DECEMBER 2015 SEEDWORLD.COM 39 Growers who spend a minimum on Syngenta products qualify to use AgriEdge Excelsior without any additional fees for services or software. Gomme says users appreciate how com- prehensive the program is as evidenced by a 95 percent return rate each growing season. Encirca DuPont Pioneer Maximizing crop yields and reducing risk thats the primary objective of DuPont Pioneers Encirca program. Additional yield gains will not come from biotechnology and seed genet- ics alone says Eric Boeck director of marketing for Encirca services. Management will play an important part in increasing productivity on every acre. Customers started using Encirca View and Encirca View Premium in early 2014 and the company has since introduced three new components. Encirca View is a mobile application that lets growers document crop observations and organize and share that information. Encirca View Premium delivers real-time field level weather data news and commodity markets. The newest Encirca offerings include Yield Nitrogen Management Service Yield Stand Service and Yield Fertility Management Service. The nitrogen tool helps farmers match application rates to different productivity areas in fields and provides recommenda- tions based on weather conditions. Yield Stand Service provides variable-rate seeding prescriptions and serves as a risk analysis tool while the Yield Fertility Management system generates modeling for phosphorous potassium and lime inputs. In addition to the software technology Encirca services are delivered through a certified services agent who provides in-person expertise to help a grower simplify data into actionable decisions that improve profitability Boeck says. The cost for Encirca services range from 4-10 per acre with the option of bundling discounts. More than 1 million acres were enrolled in this program in 2015. FARMserver Becks Hybrids Giving growers complete control of how and with whom they share their farm data is a hallmark of Becks FARMserver pro- gram. Available since August 2014 the product offers security mobility compatibility with all equipment and in-field support. By storing their data year after year our customers will start to build a foundation which will allow them to maximize their yield and make more profitable decisions by managing their fields acre by acre according to Becks. Company officials say FARMservers technological tools are easy to use but growers can lean on the expertise of field advi- sors to parse the data theyre collecting. Becks believe that its team of knowledgeable field advisors is what sets it apart from the competition. Customers have the option to use them as much or as little as they need. FARMserver complements many of the companys other precision agriculture offerings such as monitor and equipment calibration weather station installation field boundary creation and prescribed applications for planting and fertilization. The cost for a one-year premium FARMserver membership is 599. SW
