On this week’s episode of Ag Inspo, we interview Peggy Meyer, a farmer’s wife, farm business manager, mom, and co-founder of Field Pocket. Field Pocket is a software application that helps farmers keep track of harvest data; from grain contracts, to managing delivery tickets and settlement sheets, to linking all the documents in organized reports. By automating tasks that were previously done manually, Farm Pocket creates a more efficient and reliable tracking system for farmers, keeping paperwork from piling up, and allowing farmers to spend time doing what they love to do - farm.
