More farm apps than you can count

While youngsters glue their faces to the latest social media apps on their smartphones, remember there are a lot more apps out there with potential to add value to tech-savvy farm businesses.

Case IH’s recently introduced mobile app gives users of the company’s Advanced Farming System (AFS) products access to a plethora of information, explaining the basics and how to get the best from the systems.

The app contains 100 or so tutorials, in PDF or video format, on such topics as installation, set-up and calibration of automated steering systems, and best use of mapping software. More will be added. 

Freshly loaded on the system is a guide to the newly launched AFS Connect Telematics function.

The app can be downloaded free for smartphones and tablet PC’s with Android, or from Apple IOS via the normal channels. Search for Case IH AFS Academy.
