My sister and her husband own a farm. They grow things like cabbage
and other related leafy vegetables. They have passed the point of
manual management and need a computer. All their advisors say
"Buy a PC!" but I say not to be hasty. Is there a good farm management
package available for the Mac (there are apparently lots for the
PC world)? It should be able to cover as many aspects of a typical
business, as well as those specific to farming. Canadian oriented
packages are preferred, but any information would be appreciated.
Just for your information, I showed my sister how HyperCard could
be used to manage their fields. They could have a card representing
a map of their property and when they click on a particular field
on the map, it will tell them what they have planted in it, when
harvest is expected, etc. They do this all manually now in a note
book. If there's a system like this available for the Mac as part
of a complete farm package, that would be great!
Thanks for your help.
