The farming and ranching industries are undergoing a transformation, with innovative technologies being developed to improve the way agricultural enterprises are managed. Over the course of the last two years, a number of iPhone iPad agriculture apps have been introduced with features like field mapping, planting calculations, spray logs, and soil sampling tools.
More than 2.2 million farms currently operate in the U.S., according to recent statistics from the Environmental Protection Agency, and yet the industry has traditionally been slow to adopt technologies meant to improve workflows and business operations. By taking the technology that professionals in the agricultural community have been using on their desktop computers for years, and making them accessible on mobile devices, online app vendors are making it easier for farmers to get more work done during peak growing seasons.
Here are our picks for the very best iPhone iPad agriculture apps currently available for iOS users.

Small commercial lines insurance customers most value having an insurance agent or broker who completely understands their individual business and helps them assess and manage their risk. The highest-ranked small business insurers deliver on both of these metrics for 60 percent of their customers, compared with the lowest-ranked insurers at 33 percent, according to the J.D. Power 2013 U.S. Small Business Commercial Insurance Study.
The study examines overall customer satisfaction, insurance shopping and purchase behavior among small business commercial insurance customers with 50 or fewer employees. Overall satisfaction is comprised of five factors (in order of importance): interaction; policy offerings; price; billing and payment; and claims.
KEY FINDINGS
- Overall customer satisfaction among small business customers is 777.
- Satisfaction is significantly higher when an agent or broker understands their customer’s business and provides guidance regarding risk (835) than when neither of these metrics is met (645).
- Policy offerings—not price—is the primary reason small business customers select an insurer; level of service is the primary reason they stay with their insurer more than two years.
Overall customer satisfaction among small business customers is 777 (on a 1,000-point scale). Among the five factors impacting satisfaction, interaction has the highest importance weight at 29 percent, followed by policy offerings at 26 percent. Interaction satisfaction is highest when customers interact with an agent or broker in person (854). In contrast, satisfaction is significantly lower when customers interact via email (819).
Customer satisfaction is highest among small businesses with 11-50 employees, compared to businesses with four or fewer employees (790 vs. 769, respectively). Higher scores among larger businesses are influenced by agents and brokers spending more time with these key accounts. Agents and brokers are not only interacting with these larger businesses more frequently, but the interactions are also three times more likely to be made in person outside of the agent’s office, compared to businesses with four or fewer employees (24% vs. 8%, respectively). Consultation via face-to-face interactions allows insurance agents to understand the customer’s needs, provide helpful information regarding risk and tailor insurance products to meet their needs.

The average price for basic health coverage purchased on health insurance exchanges created by President Barack Obama’s health care reform law will be $249 a month, not counting subsidies, in 48 states reviewed by the Department of Health and Human Services, according to a government report published Wednesday.
The health insurance exchanges, marketplaces for uninsured people and consumers who don’t get health benefits from their employers, are scheduled to launch on Oct. 1 for an enrollment period that runs through the end of March for 2014 coverage. This latest analysis of what the health insurance plans will cost comes just six days before people will be able to find out what they’ll actually pay.
“For millions of Americans, these new options will finally make health insurance work within their budget,” Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said during a conference call with reporters Tuesday. Reporters were provided access to the report prior to its publication.
The figures released by the Department of Health and Human Services represent averages and prices will vary widely by geographic location as well as family size, age, tobacco use and income. Even the average price of a so-called bronze plan, designed to cover 60 percent of medical expenses not counting monthly premiums, masks big variation. The average price of the cheapest bronze plan in Minnesota is $144 while in Wyoming, comparable coverage costs $425 on average, not including subsides.
For people who currently are uninsured and who qualify for financial assistance or enrollment in Medicaid, the federal-state health program for the poor, the average prices look to be low: 56 percent of uninsured will be able to get coverage for less than $100 a month per person, Gary Cohen, director of the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight, said during the conference call.
