The AGVERDICT Is In: A powerful new version of AgVerdict precision software — for desktop and mobile — offers intuitiveness and ease across more than 300 crops

摘要

AG retailers and growers long have called for precision farming software that is easy and intuitive to use, has interoperability with multiple pieces of equipment,and can toggle among multiple crop areas. In AgVerdict, the people at Wilbur-Ellis' Agribusiness Division believe they have that product, or at least one that is well down the path.After taking a first pass at AgVerdict and releasing it four years ago, Wilbur-Ellis stepped back, recruited Web and software developers from Microsoft and other tech companies near their Seattle, WA-area facility, and began to buildan improved version using a "software-first approach." This new version of AgVerdict — with 80 tech engineers now dedicated to the product's user-experience design, software development and testing — should turn a lot of heads as it continues to roll out to all 167 Wilbur-Ellis retail facilities and current grower customers from Washington State to Ohio by the end of 2014.
