GPS Mapping

Do you have fields that are not perfectly square or do you have a field that always seems to come up short when applying chemicals or fertilizer?

The reason could be that the acres in the field could differ from FSA measurements. 

 Midwest Ag Insurance is finding that many fields have 2-8% fewer acres than FSA measurements.  Fewer acres means lower premiums, and increased production yields. Also with GPS, we are able to map out field roads, rock piles, and other non-cropland areas. If your are not farming these areas, why should you be paying insurance premium on them?
 

 With submeter accuracy, GPS is many times more accurate than GIS programs that offer 5 meter resolution.  Also by actually driving your field boundaries with a ATV and GPS, you can be assured that your maps are correct, no trying to guess where field edges are as with GIS. All acres insured through Midwest Ag Insurance are GPS mapped for free and a copy of the maps are provided for each insured. Whether you are already involved in precision ag or would like to be, let Midwest Ag Insurance help you take the next step, for Free!
