Smart phones have taken over our world as nearly everything folks can do on their desktop computer can now be done on a handheld device. Getting the most out of the technology available seems to be endless with millions of mobile apps available for download, offering users entertainment and/or convenience for their busy lives.

Farmers are not strangers to technology as many utilize precision agricultural tools such as auto-steering, field mapping and precision applications of seed and fertilizer.
