Have a look at http://www.farmergps.com. It has a large as-applied map which makes it very easy to use on small or irregular-shaped fields. I use an old Toughbook laptop I bought on ebay for $200. Don't scrimp on the GPS though, sure it can use the input from those little 'mouse' gps's but they...

Well up here in Manitoba it's a story only the hay sellers with leftover hay (read: nobody) are going to like. Most of Manitoba had severe winterkill and most other growers are saying they have lost 50% of their stands. My 800 acres started growing furiously with little winterkill but just a...
