Some of my fields are separate by waterways. How do I map
them?
The mapping module of EASi Suite is built using a state-of-the-art
GIS system which allows you to map these fields as multi-part
polygons. This means you can map each side of the waterway
separately, without being required to connect them using old-fashioned
land bridges.
Return to FAQ
Sometimes we split a field between two or more crops. How
do I do that in EASi Suite?
In EASi Suite, you may subdivide fields into as many crops
as you need. Other less sophisticated crop record keeping
software may require you to create new field boundaries in
order to accommodate these situations.
In EASi Suite, field boundaries are permanent objects which
persist over time. But fields are allowed to be subdivided
into 'Crop Zones' that can be different from one year to the
next.
Return to FAQ
We farm some ground on a 50-50 share lease, but pay all
of the cost of the burndown herbicide. How does EASi Suite
handle that?
No other crop record keeping software has the flexibility
to accommodate unique lease arrangements like EASi Suite can.
Although leases are set up at the farm level, EASi Suite provides
a full range of flexibility to allow you to record modified
lease terms for individual items, such as products and crops.
Return to FAQ
We apply two types of fertilizer, an insecticide and sometimes
two different hybrids while we plant. Is it possible to enter
a record from this planting operation in one step?
EASi Suite provides for a way for you to describe complex
machine configurations when setting up your equipment. These
configurations present themselves during data entry to allow
you to enter your entire product usage in a single step.
These machine configurations are also exported to our Pocket
Crops product to allow you to record the application of products
while you are performing field operations.
Return to FAQ
The harvest records from my yield monitor don't agree with
my scale tickets. What do you do about that?
EASi Suite provides a simple method to "post-calibrate"
your mapped data to agree with your scale tickets.
Return to FAQ
Can I track my irrigated corn production separately from
my non-irrigated corn production, even though both crops are
getting mixed together at harvest time?
EASi Suite will allow you to track multiple crops belonging
to the same commodity class. In this example, irrigated corn
and non-irrigated corn are set up as separate crops both belonging
to the Corn commodity. This allows you to track the cultural
practices and production costs of each crop separately

I have some special reports I have created and would like
to continue using. Is this possible in EASi Suite?
EASi Suite has the widest variety of reports available in
any crop record keeping software. Unlike other less flexible
software, each of these reports maybe exported directly in
Microsoft Excel format. You then have all the capabilities
available in Excel to customize your reports to suit your
individual needs.
Return to FAQ
Is there a way I can take a copy of the field records I
have entered into EASi Suite back to the field at harvest
time?
Yes! We provide a report that is specially formatted to be
displayed on the Pocket PC handheld computer.
Return to FAQ
Regulations are requiring us to include legal descriptions
for our fields. Does EASi Suite let me do this?
EASi Suite allows for a full set of legal descriptions for
each individual field including County, State, FSA Tract,
FSA Farm, FSA Field, Section, Township, Range and Watershed.
If this isn't enough, you also have the ability to add additional
descriptions. All of this information is available to be placed
on printed reports and maps.
Return to FAQ
Can I show my Landlord his share of production and expenses
only?
Yes, you can. Each report in EASi Suite may be filtered to
show only the landlord portion. And, reports can be generated
in .pdf format to make them easy to e-mail to your landlords!
Return to FAQ
I need a program that lets me track my grain sales. Is this
possible in EASi Suite?
EASi Suite has very versatile grain harvest capabilities.
These capabilities are accessed through the EASi
Grain module. You are able to record scale tickets at
harvest time and record discounts for each ticket. Each storage
facility you deliver grain to can be setup in EASi Grain and
have its own set of discount schedules that may be applied
to any ticket.
EASi Grain provides for complete tracking of grain production
from planting to sale. At harvest time, grain is placed into
'Open Storage' when first delivered to the initial receiving
facility. The receipt of the grain is recorded in the scale
tickets portion of EASi Grain. When grain is priced or sold,
it is removed from open storage and can be settled accordingly.
