Farm Manager is the e-service for business planning, business modelling and decision-making on farms, based on a technically advanced e-service. It is a modern upgrade of the catalogue of calculations, which has historically been provided in the printed version, and has been an indispensable tool for planning business operations on farms for various purposes within the framework of agricultural consulting since 1995. The service enables users to review existing calculations and create farm production plans while advanced users (advisors) can develop and prepare new calculations. The Farm manager is, in the next iteration going to be upgraded into a data-driven platform, aggregating data received from satellites (Earth Observation), drones, in-situ sensors (IoT), weather stations, soil and plant test databases and other third-party/open data sources.
