Year end for WebFarm$Sys
Work on WebFarm$Sys has been proceeding on schedule. It is now time to close out the first crop year and prepare summary reports. One service we are offering is a statistical analysis of profits for cotton crops by field and variety. With detailed gin data combined with the data collected over the year by WebFarm$Sys a very interesting analysis is beginning to come together.
