Previous Course Participants comments

GeoAgro launched the first online course very recently, on November 2010, on the topic 'Information Tools for Agriculture', as the initial experience in 100% remote training. These were some comments from course participants:

"Overall, great software, lots of great information. Glad I took the class."

Bruce Matthews, Producer and CCA - IL

"Having step-by-step instructions laid out was very nice."

"I really enjoyed Harold's topics and presentations.  His information was to the point and it was easy to understand the what he was trying to get across."

"Overall it was a good course.  It was nice, that all of the sessions were taped so if we missed a class we could still listen in." 

Sara Maas-Pate, AgVentures, LLC - WI

"The easy mapping tools were in a logical order.  Also liked the structure of layers.  This is the first program I had worked with that allowed the user to fade layers so you could see what was behind them."

Bobbi Hunt-Kincaid, Kincaid Ag Service, IN

"Features I liked....Being able to import maps from other sites and the use of multiple layers to store an incredible amount of information about the fields"

"Geo Agro is a fantastic tool for farm managers and CCAs to manage data from their farms.  I am hopeful in the future that the Farm Service Agency will accept data from Geo Agro as a way of streamlining the reporting of acreage and yields for the Farm Programs."

Alfred Nelson, Texas A&M University Extension, TX

"Overall I think it was a pretty good course and would participate in others."

 George Hitz, Fairbanks Soil & Water Conservation District - Fairbanks, AL.

"Things I liked...sharing the layers and projects easily, making grid points, loading to and from the gps receiver."

"Overall the teachers get an: A"
