We here at Fairport are looking forward to 2019 with quite a few things already on the go and new clients continuing to come on board. We especially like to welcome back our clients that return to PAM after being “forced” by their Agronomist to use some other product only to find it frustrating and not as robust for their management and analysis requirements. Don’t forget we have PAM FieldREX which is a free mobile app, designed especially for consultants to use with your PAM. It uses the Fairport Data Exchange, so they can get your data via the internet no matter where they are. As in Pocket PAM they have access to all your paddock/crop history for the year. Further to that, they (or anyone else you nominate) can access your reports & up to date information using PAMShare.com. If you need more information on these options, call us in 2019.

The ongoing development of our new flagship product “agCommander” is moving forward rapidly. After many months (years really) of important background work in the database design as well as other critical backend processes built to optimize the user experience and facilitate our current and future client’s farm management needs, we can now see it all coming together. Using our many years of experience to streamline data entry the new interface is truly our best work yet. We have started the first round of in house testing and fine tuning. It is very evident that we have gone the extra mile to emphasize how simple and easy it is to use agCommander as a powerful tool.

There is still plenty of ongoing testing to do before we move onto the next stage but we are very happy and excited with the progress being made so far.

A valued, 20+ year PAM client wrote recently asking about our future directions and to say …

“I've done significant research into other providers and available online software, however none come close to Fairport in the amount of available features…”

(Thank you for this very supportive feedback Georgia!)

In November, we sent out a PDF document about agCommander, with screen shots etc. Some of you may have missed. Maybe it went straight to “Junk” or like us all these days, you are overwhelmed with spam email and just missed it. If you would like to have us send (or resend) that agCommander information and screen shot document to you, please send us an email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and we’ll shoot it to you in the new year.
