After harvesting with the FarmTRX yield monitor, farmers sync their collected yield data from the yield monitor ECU to their mobile app. Through the mobile app the data is then pushed to a FarmTRX Web App account where it will be processed into yield and moisture maps. In the FarmTRX Web App, farmers have 2 service level options to choose from: Premium (upkept with a once-per-year fee based on number of account acres) and Free. When a Yield Monitor is purchased, the farmer gets their first year of Premium Web App service included with the order, so they can test out the features available in Premium before deciding whether to renew for the following years.
 At any time, all customers can log in to their Web App account to view and export un-processed data points as ESRI shapefile or AgLeader Basic file formats with a Free account. If you like the idea of automated yield data cleanup, corrected yield maps (corrections for unloading points, start and end pass delays, points in the field where the combine got plugged up), post-harvest calibration and seamless data integrations, FarmTRX Premium web service is for you.
What is FarmTRX Premium Web Service?
For the first year after purchase, farmers receive FarmTRX Premium in the Web App. Premium includes the automated cleanup and correction of yield points into precision, agronomy-ready yield maps. FarmTRX generates corrected maps within minutes of data upload, so if you sync your yield data over WiFi (or cellular data) in the yard or in the field while the combine cools, you’ll have maps in your account by the time you’re back to the house and sitting at the computer. Premium enables 9 different map layers for every field, including a corrected yield map, trend of yield map and zoned yield map. For contrast, Free users will see 2 map layers for every field: raw yield points and the field boundary.
With FarmTRX Premium, misleading harvest data that was recorded by the monitor (like headland turns, unloading points, hills, multiple combines with different calibrations in one field) is automatically detected and corrected to product accurate maps that validate what really happened in the field.
The ability to back-calibrate harvest data is also available through the post-harvest calibration function in Premium. As long as the Yield Monitor is powered on and recording data through harvest, farmers can get accurate yield maps for their fields by simply adding the total field takeoff (elevator results) into the field settings. The yield data is reprocessed and the yield map is automatically updated. Post-harvest calibration safeguards against any potential calibration errors made while harvesting or entirely missing a calibration run. We get that harvest is go-time and anticipate not every operator to have the time or willingness to do an a crop calibration before harvesting. This way, you can always get accurate maps after the fact.
Agronomists and those managing many fields worth of FarmTRX data will appreciate the Client Farm Field (CFF) function available in Premium. CFF allows users to organize and view their yield data by nested categories (client, farm or field) making data management simpler.
What’s the cost for Premium?
FarmTRX Premium is an opt-in service that you can upkeep or let expire after your first year. You’ll be notified within 30 days of account expiry, and given the option to renew Premium or downgrade to Free. Don’t forget, customers always have Basic (free) account access to their raw yield data collected by the FarmTRX Yield Monitor and the option to export raw data to other agronomy, precision ag or farm management platforms.
The price for FarmTRX Premium is based on acres in your account, the range for most customers is from US$250/year (1-500 acres) to US$950/year (8,000-10,000 acres). Get your exact price for FarmTRX Premium by requesting an estimate from our team.
