More and more farmers using a GEO-/GIS module in their FMIS
Farmers can draw their fields or measure them with a GPS receiver
Aim of the project GeoFarmer is to reduce the administrative burden of the farmers
use the information already available in the farmers FMIS for the yearly
“Field declaration”
Direct advantages for the farmer
no double work for the farmer (time saving, less mistakes)
possible to use measured fields
the “Combined declaration” is easier
