Home Resources held a series of workshops at the Sugarland Hotel to unveil the release 10 upgrade to the software SUGAR4.

In that occassion, a companion program to the software SUGAR4, dubbed Crop Year Planner, was also introduced. The Crop YearPlanner is basically a management tool. Information helpful to the farm manager is pulled out from the SUGAR4 database by mouse clicks and typing in parameters.

Some of the highlights of the latest Sugar4 release include:

• Improved mobility.
  Planters on the go can now access Sugar4 reports on their PDAs or on their laptops even if they’re away from the office.
• GIS Integration.
  With Sugar4, GPS map are transformed using the Graphical Data Interface to let planters monitor field activity through field maps.
• More management tools.
  With the Crop Year Planner interacting with Sugar4 data, farm administrators have the tools to address concerns such as manpower utilization and the status of work, budget preparation, harvest results and field productivity.

A price increase on products and services will take effect on July 2006. Please see the Downloads section for the updated price list.
