Topcon Introduces SGISfarm Data Management Software for Professional Farmers

Joe Tevis, TPA director of agronomic products and services, said, “SGISfarm was developed to allow Topcon to offer full farm solutions and complete the value proposition of its many hardware products, including all of its consoles or controllers, such as the X20, GX-45 and new X30. This specialized farm data management software specifically targets precision farming for the owner-operator.”

With its exclusive process, SGISfarm can “reliably create variable rate application maps for all Topcon consoles,” he said. “Used with the new Topcon X30 console, it will seamlessly manage as-applied data which can be used in printed reports and in future fertility recommendations.”

Tevis said SGISfarm offers “tight integration” with a number of machines from AGCO, a Topcon strategic partner. “With the high cost of seed, it is an excellent tool for use with variable rate seeding, turning data of choice into VRC seeding maps for AGCO White planters as well as those planters equipped with DICKEY-john controls.”

SGISfarm is “capable of creating variable rate maps for virtually all of the common controllers used for application and seeding control. It is also compatible with the harvest monitors of other brands of combines,” Tevis said.

“In addition to supporting these monitors, it can easily merge data when multiple combines are used in the same field. SGISfarm also adds value to Topcon CropSpec sensors by providing tools to visualize field data and modify a proposed application,” he said.
