HOT NEW TOOL FOR YOUR FARM

摘要

Smarfphone technology is making its way onto the farm and changing how farmers manage their businesses. Kelly Robertson remembers his old bag phone well. Ever present in the cab of his pickup, the simple phone was a tool of convenience on his Benton,Illinois, farm. It was basic. It had a single purpose. Flash forward a couple decades. Robertson now uses a state-of-the-art Android smartphone. "Today, as predicted then, your cell phone is now your do-all computer, phone, text, email, Internet, phone book, Twitter, Facebook, weather radar, grain market ticker, and a whole list of apps and downloads for whatever else you're into," Robertson says.
