Farm Crap App Pro

The Farm Crap App Pro is a collaborative project between Duchy College and Rothamsted Research North Wyke to develop an easy to use, accurate and reliable way to manage and record slurry spreading information and data on manure.

Working with waste companies, contractors, equipment manufacturers and consultants the project will allow for the development not just of an app which allows farmers to complete whole field nutrient management plans using the latest data from RB209 but will also allow a simple way for farmers to share information with their advisors.

The project will also look at the use of decision support tools by the farming community and how engaging with technology brings opportunities for business efficiency and growth.

The finished app will include the ability to comply with Nitrate Vulnerable Zone regulations, as well as the new Farming for Water rules alongside the ability to truly integrate manure and slurry applications with bagged fertiliser to allow for environmental protection and economic benefits.

The Farm Crap App Pro is available now for Apple and Android Devices.

The latest version of the app (developed with funding from Agri-Tech Cornwall) was launched at Rothamsted Research North Wyke on the 14th of November 2019.

There are lots of new features on the app which make it easier to use and get the financial and environmental benefits that come from efficiently using manures and slurry.

New features include:

• the ability to map all the fields on your farm
• individual crop nutrient recommendations from RB209, to allow you to complete field nutrient plans
• the ability to take into account applications of compost, digestate and other products, including your own data from slurry or manure analysis
• the ability to take into account the application method (dribble bar, trailing shoe, injection) and account for the increased nutrient availability that comes with these bits of kit
• the ability to include applications of bagged fertiliser.

Best of all, the app is still free to use and download, and available on both Apple and Android devices. We have also developed a web version of the calculator, which is available here.
