Q&A with Matt Waits: What 2021 will mean for Sirrus iOS

By Global Ag Tech Initiative

Proagrica’s Sirrus app is known for the value it provides to agronomists with data collection for soil sampling and scouting, as well recommendation creation. However, in the coming months, Proagrica has big plans in the pipeline for their agronomic app. President of Ag Solutions, Matt Waits sat down to talk a bit about the upcoming updates, and what they’ll mean for their customers.

How are Sirrus customers deriving value from Sirrus today?
Today Sirrus has very strong in-field scouting and recommendation-writing capabilities. We’re providing functionality that gives the customers access to in-season satellite imagery that can be used for directed scouting, and from that, they can create pesticide, seed, and fertilizer recommendations. It also provides the ability to manage variable rate fertilizer recommendations, where they can view, edit, and export recommendations directly from their iPhone or iPad. And it also has full record-keeping capability for on-farm agronomic data collection.

What will you be introducing in this new Sirrus release?
Well, what we’ve been wanting is the full workflow throughout the season. So, these new additions are going to introduce the ability to capture pre-season plans and do that in collaboration with a grower who’s also using the app. They can then use those plans to drive work orders throughout the season as it comes time to execute on those plans, and then have a completed work record in the end. So from that, we’ll have the completed journey of planning to work orders to completed work. And then with the recommendation functionality that’s there as well, the recs can be made throughout the season and then submitted to the farmer for acceptance into their work plan.
