SGISfarm

A Strong Precision Heritage

Topcon acquired the SGIS business and software product from AGCO Corp. in 2011.

For over 20 years, SGIS Agronomy software was sold almost exclusively in the ag retailer market where it became a key technology component of many successful precision farming service businesses.

From this strong heritage Topcon has developed SGISfarm for the professional farmer. The result is a software program with an “easier to use” interface which focuses only on those functions which have proven to create value and make more money for the farmer.

Precision from Data Import to Application Control

Like SGISpro, Topcon’s new SGISfarm imports and manages all type of data critical to a successful precision farming operation. This includes soil test, harvest, as-applied, as well as crop sensor data. The import process includes automatic quality checking features and after import, there are tools to manually inspect and edit the data if necessary.

SGISfarm has an open architecture design which complies with international data format standards as well as the most popular GIS and image file standards. This makes it easy to both export and import data from other farm office software programs and controllers.

“Wizard” like Recommendation Process

SGISfarm features a simple, easy-to-use and learn process for creating variable rate crop input maps without sacrificing quality and reliability. This is done first by focusing on very basic but proven recommendation methods. These methods are then “pre-packaged” in templates which eliminate the need for the user to learn the complex process of writing equations.

Some templates are provided with the product, but new ones created, either by Topcon or your local SGIS Agronomist can be added at any time. This makes it easy to customize SGISfarm to meet the specific needs of your cropping practices and regional economics.

Topcon Precision Hardware Support

A key strength of SGISfarm is its tight integration with Topcon precision products as well as a number of machines from AGCO, a Topcon strategic partner.

SGISfarm is the perfect tool for creating variable rate maps for Topcon’s legacy X20 , the GX-45 sold with Topcon System 150 as well as the new and innovative X30 console sold with Topcon System 350.

Valuable Field Data Reports

SGISfarm creates all of the important reports that you need to enhance your management decisions. This includes all nutrient maps from soil probe testing, harvest data such as yield mass and volume and moisture content, and also as-applied data which is the “where and how” of the crop input application.

Variable rate seeding is also an SGISfarm strength, with “Best in Class” support of AGCO planters and those equipped with DICKEY-john IntelliAg™ controls. SGISfarm is also a preferred software for processing and managing harvest data collected by all AGCO combines.

Third Party Hardware Support

SGISfarm also supports an extensive list of 3rd party controllers and yield monitors many of which may be on your farm.
