They are also used to analyze data and manage finances. There are two main types of agricultural software: “in-field” and “out-of-field” software. In-field refers to software that runs on the person using it. Out-of-field refers to software that runs on a computer at a remote location. In-field software is typically more expensive than out-of-field software. However, out-of-field software may not accurately represent the actual conditions on the farm, which could lead to errors in reporting or financial losses.
