In the 21st century, it’s not enough just to have the right pieces of farm equipment. You also need connectivity and the latest technological advances to help you accurately and efficiently complete your tasks around your farm. With the advent of smartphones, nearly everyone has a computer in their pocket at all times and you can even use your phone to assist you with your agricultural endeavors.

New Holland, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of farm equipment since 1895, has leapt into the new millennium with a host of amazing farming apps to help you make the most of your New Holland® farm equipment so that your operations will run as smoothly as possible.

Abell & Sons, with locations in Lake Charles and Welsh, is your Louisiana New Holland farm equipment dealer. Read on to learn more about New Holland’s great suite of farming apps.

MYNEWHOLLAND

When you first purchase your New Holland® farm equipment, you should immediately download the MYNEWHOLLAND app. This app offers you basic information about your farm equipment and provides you with some extremely helpful features that will make your work much easier.

For example, you can access the New Holland Customer Center to get assistance with your equipment from your local New Holland dealer (that’s us, here at Abell & Sons!) as well as the official New Holland service team. Telematics data lets you keep tabs on the condition of your equipment. Other useful features include owner’s manuals, deals and video tutorials. You can even start a subscription to your Precision Land Management device on this app.

New Holland® Weather Forecast

Your phone likely already comes with a weather app of some kind, but these apps are generally tailored to the everyday citizen, more than likely a city dweller, and they don’t contain as much useful information for someone managing a farm out in the countryside. Farmers need to know when and how much rain they can expect, whether a drought will continue and whether a storm is forecasted so they can batten down the hatches quickly and protect their equipment, livestock and crops.

The New Holland® Weather Forecast app gives you evapotranspiration information and almanac data that lets you gauge your yields based on previous years. You’ll also get access to up-to-date agricultural news so that you can always stay informed.

New Holland® Grain Loss Calculator

Worried about crop yields? You’re not alone. Many farmers are concerned with their yields, as a bad yield means lost money that can’t be recouped. When you’re harvesting your crops, this app can help you to reduce the amount of grain loss. You’ll input some information about your harvesting equipment and the types of crops that you plan to harvest. Take a count of the kernels on the ground on a piece of your land and provide the app with this number so you can get a measurement of grain loss in kilograms per hectare. You’ll be able to adjust your equipment to reduce this loss and improve your yield at the same time.

Of course, you’ll need to have the right New Holland farm equipment on hand to make use of all these technological developments. No matter what it is you need to do on your farm, there’s a piece of New Holland equipment that can help you to do it efficiently.
