SUGAR4.NET broadens service scope

Saturday, September 5th, 2009

This site is expanding it’s services. Where before it served only sugarcane farmers, it will now serve farmer groups and factories as well.

An exciting addition to this site is the introduction of a geographical information sytem (GIS). These are GPS maps embedded with information. For example, specific information such as how much fertilizer has been applied to a specific field, or how much has been spent on the field to date; for a factory, how many trucks have passed a cane checker station, or where/when sugarcanes ripe for harvest are located.
New content will include bulletins. Members who wish to sell seedpieces, excess tractor time, or other resource may post them in the bulletin service. A chat room will be provided where members may carry on with transactions.

The site will also host an ads column. The ads column may be searched by category.
